"Notarized Statement"?

[Korgan 0]

Hey guys,

I'm about to send off my IV-15 to the embassy (Notification of Applicant Readiness and Checklist) and one of the things on the checklist is 'Notarized Statement'. What is this?

It would help if you specified the embassy to which you're referring. When I googled IV-15, the London embassy came up, so I'm presuming that's what you're talking about.

The checklist from London does indeed list a mysterious "Notarized Statement" with no further explanation. The only reference to a notarized statement I can find in the associated IV-15 instructions are for non-English documents requiring English translations—the translations must be accompanied by a notarized statement from the translator that certifies that the translation is accurate.

If you post this question (or ask a mod to move this thread) to the Embassy/Consulate Discussion forum and make clear that you're talking about London, you might be able to find some people who've been through that consulate before and can answer from experience.

The notarized statement is referred to in the same document as being another statement of intent if the interview is going to be scheduled more that 4 months after NOA2 approval in order to show your continued interest in getting the visa.

"Note: If more than 4 months has passed since the petition was approved, you will be required to furnish a notarized statement of your intent to marry within 90 days of your arrival in the U.S."

Be sure to read all the directions for these documents.

Good one! I totally missed that.

Korgan, your question is answered.
