Did you have your I-864A notarized

[trailmix 77]

Just wondering as we were discussing this in another thread today, some do, some don't, I thought it wasn't necessary but USCIS has it posted on their website that it is necessary.

We are talking about the I-864A btw - not the I-864 - so what is your experience, anyone ever get an RFE to have it notarized?

As I said in another thread I did not notatized mine I-864A form,and I called NVC and they said they received my forms(I-864 and I-864A)and everything is fine with documents and with forms,..Anyway my case is not completed yet because of another RFE they ask for proof between me and household member(they ask for mine birth certificate as a petitioner)I send them back my birth certificate and I hope my case will be completed during this week,and forwarded to foreign embassy.

I hope I helped in this thread,....Anyway GOOD LUCK TO YOURS CASES AND FAST APPROVAL TO YOU ALL,...GOD BLESS.

Some editions of the Form I-864 and Form I-864A include a jurat to be completed by a notary or by a consular or immigration officer to show that the person signed or acknowledged the signing of the Form I-864 or I-864A under oath. The Form I-864 and Form I-864A, however, provide that they are signed “under penalty of perjury.” Thus, 28 USC 1746 (which deals with the legal effect of unsworn statements) makes it unnecessary for Form I-864 and Form I-864A to be signed in the presence of or certified by a notary public or an Immigration or Consular Officer. Note that the jurat has been removed from the January 15, 2006 edition of the Forms I-864 and I-864A. Form I-86EZ is a newer form, and therefore never had the jurat.

Hi YuandDan,

Yes, I posted this reference in the other thread I referred to above, however on the USCIS page it says it has to be notarized, as someone else pointed out.

No where on form I-864A does it have a place for a notary to sign and whitness the signature, form I-864A has this notation:

Certify under penalty under the laws of the United States that all the information provided on this

form is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief and that the Federal income tax

returns submitted in support of the contract are true copies or unaltered tax transcripts filed with

the Internal Revenue Service.

Again, the web page is incorrect per, USCIS Adjudicator's Field Manual - Redacted Public Version \ Chapter 20 Immigrants in General \ Enforceable Affidavits of Support.[Revised as of 06/27/2006].
