Expiry date of notorization for I-134 Affidait of Support

[daphne2109 0]

Hi to everybody,

could anybody help me to understand if when you ask to your fiance(e) in US to send you in advance the Affidavit of Support notorized completed with the tax return notorized, if the notorization has an expiry date ?

I try to explain better, I'm on the process to get Package 3 (I'm still waiting for it), but I just got the

Affidavit of support by my fiance in US, is it possible that nearby the stamp of notorization and the signature of the Notary public on the Affidait received, it says :"My commission expiries on 1st of June 2006" and it was issued only on the 25th of April 2006? Can it be that lasts less than 2 months?

Can anybody help me in this matter? That means that if, lets say, I'll be scheduled to get an interview in about a month this document (Affidavit) notorized will be already expired, not valid anymore? Should I ask to my fiance again for it when I'm sure about the exact date of the interview? The notorization lasts less than 2 months???

Thanks to anybody who can give me a suggestion by his/her personal experience!!!

I'm so sad, because I thought that anticipating the readiness of this document it could have helped me to save my time since I'm probably near to the date of receiving Package 3........

Thanks again for any reply!!!!

I'm not 100% on this, but I think the expiration is for the actual notary him/herself...as in they are certified for a specific time period and have to get recertified periodically. Like an inspection sticker on your car. So what I think is that since he/she was qualified as of the date they notarized your document you won't have any problems. But again, I'm not absolutely sure.

There's no expiration of the validity of the document being notarized.

If you want more of IMHO, read further; if not, hit delete

I'm not an expert nor a lawyer nor a notary.

In the US, a notarized document is a document that someone who's been trained and certified to state that a document is authentic has done so.

I can't see how in the US there can be a window of "valid until" on the document.

The notary will have a date until which his credentials are valid.

It's like a license.

However, that has nothing to do with getting the notary seal meaning valid document.

Of course, really the notary cannot know if there's a mistake or a conscious error.

All the notary is doing is validating that it document "looks" like it purports itself to be.

For example, if income in omitted when it should be included or included and not true, the notary doesn't know that.

The notary is taking the statement of the person making the claim; that's all.

Some notaries will ask do you affirm or swear this document is what you say it is.

Yes, and I just confirmed my thoughts with our notary here at work. A Notary's commission is for 4 or 6 years, upon which they have to apply again. But whatever they signed while their commission was valid is valid.

So it means that when the Notary signed, his job (or commission) was still valid and his job (or commssion)will expiry on the 1st of June, but then it doesnt matter because his signature at the time he signed was still valid. Please dear friend confirm me if I understood well. So actually if it is like that it means that the notorized document is valid even after the 1st of June, I am right?

THanks!!!!!!!!!!

In the US the expiration date of the commission of the notary doesn't affect the notary seal unless the notary notarized the document past the validity date of his commission or license to do so.

Notarized is forever unless revoked.

An example is a POA for one's parent.

Unless the parent revokes it, like a will, it's good for eternity.

So too the notarized document.

I'll be good far longer than you'll need it!

Eternity's rather long, I should guess.
