I-134 - notarized or no?

[LilLoveBug 0]

So the USCIS has changed the I-134 instructions saying you don't need it notarized. But on the HCM consulate website it says notarized I-134 ... anyone know about this?

Also, if you guys don't know, do you think it would it be too pestering if I emailed the consulate and asked this question?

Thanks

You need to have it notarized or else you will regret it. :=) Make sure have to have your bank verified and give you a summarize letter of your account for the past year. 3 years of Tax return transcript. Goto IRS website and request for the past 3 yrs. They will either fax it to you or send to you by snail mail. HCM consulate want to make sure that you can able to support your love one.

The NEW I-134 has NO place for it to be noterized. The old ones will still be excepted but the new ones you do not need to

I would tend to go with what the embassy is telling you, they are the ones making the decisions

I would go with the info. on their website. You shouldn't hesitate to email or call them either. It is your Consulate.

If the IRS asks you if you own the fax machine/number the transcripts are being sent to tell them yes. They won't send them otherwise. Be prudent though. It is your personal information after all.

It is a recent change so not all information may have been updated.... in the end, do whatever the consulate says to do

Dear Bug,

Believe me this is 100% acurate. The new I-134 form does not require a notary signature, therefore you DO NOT need to get it notarized. The embassy and consulate websites around the world have outdated information. Always use the most update USCIS forms and instructions. Outdated forms and requirements will only slow you down.
