Notarized letters

[Angelica 0]

My AOS intervoew is next Thursday . I'm sorting stuff out so it's ready, to cut down on the obsessing time ....I thought I'd get a couple of letters from friends of us both...So, we went with said letters to a notary, (friends took time off work , bless) anyway, they refused to notarize them Apparently washington state needs some silly bit of paper from people requesting these letters to be notarized.

So 2 hours later, dropped friends back to work, I went back home to Idaho and popped in my bank and voila !! They will notarize anything except a will .. Friends are going away, I obviously cant drag them from work again today ...so in short I am royally stuffed once again

2 questions...and I bet you know what they are

1 do I really need letters ...is it a must ?

2 will stuff that's not notarized really not do

I believe the answeres are

1 no it isnt a must , but it's a good idea

2 they are not worth the paper they are written on, they won't do

please correct me if I'm wrong

I have a recent thread about what I'm bringing to the interview, not one thing is notarized.

So, my answers are....

1. It's not a must, it's up to you.

2. They probably won't even look at them.

That probably didn't help

Pictures of you two together with friends and family will offer more eveidence,

Letters from friends and family although good idea really are not that important and they do Not need to be notorized!

I would also say, just bring the letters (without notarization) as just an additional piece of evidence and don't worry about it (you don't HAVE to have them, it's just a nice touch )

I don't know if our experience was typical but......

We had a bag full of documentation. Fresh financials and tax returns...pictures....utility bills...credit card bills....affidavits from friends who know us as a couple....etc, etc, etc. We were never asked for any of it.
