My SO needs to have one paper signed and the other notarized in Benin City, Nigeria. Does anyone have any information regarding these original documents needed to file a K1 petition? From what I am understanding, the cost is PHEMONINAL!

There is a notary like function at the court. I am not sure what it costs. Because it is for your visa application the embassy provides notary services. You can check the fees for that online I think it was less than $50

What is it that needs to be notarized? When my SO sent me the documents I needed, he didn't have to have anything notarized. :)

Nothing needs to be notarized for the K1 petition.

My SO is sooo worried that the petition won't go through because at the bottom of the Beneficiary's form says that it needs to be notarized. It is quite expensive and he doesn't want to mess anything up. He also says that the EMS service is just as expensive as the FedEx ($250) to mail me documents. Maybe you can tell me this......is there ANY forms along the way that have to be notarized by him?

Exactly what is the name of the beneficary's form? I just recently been through this and there are no documents that have to be notarized by him so please save your money. Maybe he has an old form?? Also, I think my SO used Fedex and it cost him a little over $100.00 to send me the documents I needed by him.

Perhaps this form was for the affidavit of support which comes later on. My SO thinks that I am starting to doubt him because of all of my worries. Remember, he is mailing FROM Benin City, Nigeria to NY, USA. Are the charges in Lagos different?

The affidavit of support, the I-134, does NOT need to be notarized and it is filled out by the petitioner, not the beneficiary. The I-134 is needed at the interview stage.

got any new updates? :star:

Well, Iam, I have decided that anything that has to be notarized will be notarized there in Nigeria. I'm sending everything in unnotarized. As far as the mailing of documents from Nigeria, the post office is not run by the government therefor they can make a lot of money if someone wants to send something bad enough. I'm sick actually. $250 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have looked into EVERYTHING, and that's it. :angry:

To have something notarized means that it has been authencated. If it is your signature that should need to be notarized , he can't get that done there. That being said there is nothing that is normally notarized anymore.
