U.S Embassy Islamabad??

[hokuspokus 1]

I am filing joint tax in US for me and my wife. her immigration status is almost complete. we are in last stages since i submitted the DS230 form 2 weeks ago. She is not here but im filing her as a resident using form W-7.

Here is my question. IRS has requested a biographic page certified passport copy. it has to be certified by either hague convention countries (pakistan is already excluded) or United states notary public.

does anybody know if the Islamabad US embassy does notary of documents/passport?

it also say says that foreign notaries are acceptable if they attach an "Apostille" to the notarized document. Does anybody know what that is?

Contact to any lawyer here in Pakistan, he will guide you about it, as I gave my documents to a friend lawyer and he helped me to attested them from Lahore Notary Public I don’t think you need to go at US consulate for this,

I dont think the Embassy can do anything like this. You can read the FAQ on the Embassy's website.

I am running into a similar situation. Where did you end up getting the Notary for the Passport?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
