[Allymash 7]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what documents need to be notarized before we send off our petition.

Welcome to the forum.

None that I can readily recall, though there may be some country-specific exceptions.

in particular:

Besides, the Penalties, certification, and signature section of the Form I-129F petition (Page 3, Part D) is a lot tougher than a simple verification of a signature (notarization).

Good luck on your visa journey.

Yup! None need to be notarized, additionally it is not with trying to do it when considering the added time and potential added expense. If you wanted to have notarized affidavits from people with knowledge of your relationship, you could wait until your interview for that (although they aren't relly needed then either). When considering you are from Canada it really not with trying to get anything notarized at all. Edited May 11, 2013 by Kastrs

You should fill in your timeline.

What visa are you sending in? Scratch that I just saw in what forum. lol silly me.

The only documents I ever got notarized were affidavits from friends and family, but it's not a requirement.

Hello everyone,

None. Everyone thinks notorizing is some magical thing a person does to a document. All having a document notorized does is tell the person looking at it that the person who signed the form did so in their presence and they have proven to the satisfaction of the notary that they are who they claim to be. The USCIS does not require this at any point in the process. They do want original signatures on all forms that require a signature so no e-mail, or photocopies of forms requiring a signature. No originals are required unless specifically asked for, photocpoies are fine as long as they are legible.

Good luck,

Dave

Well i got many things notarized.. I work in a bank so its easy for me. But they also have a stamp that they can use that says "this is a true unaltered copy of an original document" I think that may come in handy when sending copies of things .. But like others have said I heard its not a requirement except 1 person who posted on here said they got an RFE from not having the intent to marry notarized? Though I know there are many on here who didnt either but never got an RFE....so I did to be safe
