Hello, I am preparing my documents for the I-129F application and thought that I needed to submit the I-134 at the same time. I'm now reading here that I may not need to submit that at the same time. 

 

So, I'm not going to send that with my I-129F, but will the USCIS officer send me a request to send this information in later? Am I saving time by sending it all together?

The I-134 is not required at the time of submitting your I-129f petition.

When you fall for someone with all your heart you just want to be together forever, right?

What to do after NOA2:

Spoiler

After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will assign you a case number and send your petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where your fiancé(e) lives.

The NVC will mail/email you a letter when it sends your fiancé(e) case to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Once you receive this letter, inform your fiancé(e) to take the below-listed actions to apply for a K-1 visa and prepare for the interview.

Affidavit of Support For Fiancé(e), Spouse, or Child as a “K” Nonimmigrant

If your relative is either a K-1 fiancé(e), a K-3 spouse, or a K-2 or K-4 child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit an affidavit of support at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States.

 

No problem ^_^

If your relative is either a K-1 fiancé(e), a K-3 spouse, or a K-2 or K-4 child of fiancé(e) or spouse, you do not need to submit an affidavit of support at the time you file your Form I-129F petition. Instead, you should submit an affidavit of support at the time that your fiancé(e), spouse, or child adjusts status to permanent resident after coming to the United States.

For reference, that's only for AOS after entering on the K-1 visa. An affidavit of support is usually requested for the K-1 visa as well (I-134, not I-864).

USCIS doesn't mention that piece because USCIS doesn't issue visas. The embassy/consulate will be the one to require it at the interview.
