you need to fill out the I-134 form and get ti notarized from a notary public in usa (not in india)
Here is the form:

It says the document needs to be signed in front of of Officer Administering Oaths. Is it the 'Notary public' ? or Is it some other officer ?. I am a bit confused as the form asks for the 'Title' of the officer.
Answer: By an immigration officer or before a notary public or other official authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. If the sponsor is outside the United States, the affidavit must be sworn to or affirmed before a U.S. consular or immigration officer.

Outside USA
Documents can also be notarized in the US embassy/consulate by a consulate officer.
Thanks.

Does it mean we can get it notarized during the interview as long I have a completed I-134
yes thats true. I take back my words from above!...rectified my statement above!
Here is the legal way it is read as to where and how to execute:
"If the sponsor is in the United States, the affidavit may be sworn to or affirmed before an immigration officer (see any BCIS District or sub-office) or before a notary public or other official authorized to administer oaths for general purposes. If the sponsor is outside the United States, the affidavit must be sworn to or affirmed before a U.S. consular or immigration officer."
So the answer is yes it can be notarized @ a US consulate/ embassy only by an US immigration/ consular officer.
Although this is true i would recommend doing it in usa before you leave rather than wait till the last moment!
