First Question, I do not believe you will be denied unless USCIS has changed the rules, 11 yrs ago i sent my i-129f in and had it in a 3 ring binder with divider tabs stating what each one was, as far as for financial support you will need to show some type of money earning for the year (maybe more yrs) like a tax return i do believe.

Per USCIS, I would not use a binder.  I would highly recommend that you also read the instructions for the I-34 and instructions from your consulate.

Why isn't the petitioner submitting the petition?

You do not need a binder. We submitted recently and simply used post it tabs with information that broke up sections. You also have to number the pages so you can include like an outline that says on which page they will find something. I then just used a giant paperclip to hold the papers in place to put in the envelope. 

 

Also, the only person who needs to show the financial documents will be the US citizen. The non-US citizen (beneficiary), will not need to show that they can financially support the couple
