Change in I-134 Form

[RexT 0]

Thanks to all...I am just going to put in BOTH, since I already have the one notarized. That should cover it all I would hope. I wonder if VJ is aware and has updated any thing related to this new form? Again thank all of you for your input and I leave for Thailand, December 29...a couple of days from now. I know everything won't be in place for the interview while I am there, but I am taking everything with me to give to her for when that time does come. Happy New Year to all....RexT

SNAFU!

Says the I-134 needs to notarized in one place but the new form doesn't have a place for it to be notarized!

To file this form, it needs to be sworn to or affirmed by a USCIS Officer at any USCIS Office, by 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 by a USCIS Officer or Consular Officer at any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

SNAFU! Old saying! Situation Normal All Fooked Up!

The version of the form and its corresonding new instructions are in conformance. There is no mention of a need to be "sworn or affirmed" etc. No SNAFU in this case. I believe the acronym was popularized in an age when the F represented "fouled".

I have just sent by FEDEX to my fiancee in the Philippines the I-134 and used the new form. I did not have it notorized due to the statement that it was not necessary but also read the instructions and it satates the form needs notorized. This is very contdicting but there is no space for a notory to notorize as with the older I-134 forms. Her interview is January 23. Now I am having second thoughts after reading all the responses here and am wondering if I should print another I-134 and have it notorized and FEDEX over to her?? Can someone that "KNOWS FOR SURE" let me know if the form needs notorized or not?

To be safe I printed out more copies of my I-134 and got them notorized and an sending FEDEX to my Honey to have incase they need notorized. Just to be safe.

The new form does not need to be notarized. Trust me on this. USCIS simply neglected to update the webpage.

There is no space for the notary. If in doubt, you could always get the stamp on the back.
