Re: K-3 (I-134)
C,
I thought that my opening sentence was quite clear on the matter - "No, the petitioner does not need to be the sponsor for a K visa." If a sponsor is needed, anyone who meets the qualifications can be the sponsor.

.... What I was/am trying to figure out is if the K visa applicant is going to use an I-134 than does the petitioner need to fill one out? (i.e. in our case, I don't meet the requirements of sponsor since my income is in the UK --- so is my husband able to use only an I-134 from someone else or do I need to add my I-134 as well?)
....

C,
The confusion was my fault. I thought making the added idea of no sponsor at all a parenthetical comment would sufficiently set it off from the main issue. I should have been clearer about that.

As per your post, quoted below, I wasn't sure if you meant the petitioner doesn't need to sponsor if the K visa applicant has sufficient funds/resources to self-sponsor or if this was a general statement, including the situation I described.
Thanks for the clarification and sorry for the confusion.

Re: K-3 (I-134)
Just as an update . . .
London did require an I-134 from the Petitioner (in our case). My husband had an I-134 from my Dad but as others have stated the ConOff wanted the *traditional/I-864 pattern* ---with the Petitioner sponsoring (and producing an I-134), even though in our case I do not qualify as Sponsor.
In fact, everything the ConOff wanted coincided with the I-864. For example, since I (Petitioner/Sponsor) am residing in the UK, he wanted a statement re. US domicile. He also asked to see a copy of the Joint Sponsor's passport (as required by the I-864). Our K-3 case is a bit unique, given that I am living in the UK, so of course *your mileage my vary*.
