I-134 vs I-864

My Jamaican fiancé received packet #4. The instruction checklist attached to the interview letter requested all the normal forms for a K1 visa applicant, except for the Affidavit of Support. I am under the impression that for K1 visa interviews the beneficiary needs the petitioner to submit to him/her an 1-134, which is what I have already given my fiancé. However the checklist we received asks for I-864. I looked up this form and it sounds as if it is intended for actual relatives, which we are not relatives until married. I have also read posts saying I-864 is required for AOS after marriage. Has anyone been required to submit the I-864 instead of the I-134? Or does this sound like the embassy sent the wrong checklist to my fiancé? Wondering if I should send the I-864 just to be safe but I can't send anything by mail until Tuesday and our interview will be only 16 days after that so I'm not sure my fiancé would receive it in time. I have emailed the embassy asking to clarify but may not here anything from them until midweek.

Thanks!

I-134 is used for the K-1 interview, and the I-864 will be used for AOS after you are married.
