I was reading the link provided by US Embassy in Delhi and have a question: For my Fiance's interview, do I have to notarize and send her the following documents: I-134, Photocopy of US Passport, 1040 and W2?

From http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/ivpacket309k1.html ----

Note: Only U.S. consular officers, DHS officers and U.S. notaries are authorized to notarize form I-134.

Each visa applicant needs to satisfy the consular officer that he/she will not become a public charge. The petitioner must provide a notarized affidavit of support (form I-134), form 1040 and W2 for the most recent taxable year and proof of U.S. citizenship.

I have already sent her these documents but they are not notarized. The instructions on I-134 mentioned that it is a federal offense to falsify any information on I-134 and does not need to be notarized.

I don't think they need to be notarized, someone told me that they didn't notarize anything from the US.

There was some discussion around notarization of I-134, apparently New Delhi wants I-134 has to be notarized. I don't believe you have to notarize anything else. If I am not mistaken, the purpose of notarization is to ensure that you are the one signing the document and not authenticate the document and I-134 is the only signed doc. Best thing would be to send an notarized copy of I-134.

Good Luck with the interview.
