Paperwork to send to Embassy, HELP

[Karam and Jamie 44]

I received the e-mail below from the Embassy. I already sent my fiance the I-134 form but didn't realize it had to be notarized UGH Best thing I can do is try to mail it to him as fast as I can? Also, it doesn't mention the other forms that this website says he will have to fill out and send? See below: (WHY?)

( 2 ) DS-156-Non-Immigrant visa application
( 1 ) DS-156K-Non-Immigrant fiance visa application
( 1 ) DS-230-Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration

Kindly find the forms that you have to fill in order to proceed with your case:

I think he can get notarized at the US embassy, if I do understand the wording correctly. He might has to pay some fees to do that. So you don't have to send another I-134 form to him - save money and time-.

Those other forms are not required for K1 anymore I dont believe. We were instructed to do a DS-160 only. At the time of interview your fiance has to have the confirmation page from this online app....

[Karam and Jamie 44]

Oh really???? Thanks so much !!

Sorry, one more thing. In the e-mail it stated to mail the confirmation page to the Embassy. Should he make a copy of it as well to take to the interview?

[KMR&MHAH 11]

Yes ma'am! Send in to the embassy and also have one in hand at the interview. As for your notarized I-134 need, I looked back at my email I got from the embassy in november and that is the only thing that has a discrepancy between mine and yours. I thought that sounded weird, but yeah we didn't have to notarize. Either way, from what I read on yours above it doesn't make me feel that you need to send that I-134 to your fiance at all. It is something you fill out here, take to a notary here, and send in with the rest of the stuff. you are the petitioner. Your fiance does not need to handle the I-134 at all. I hope this helps. Feel free to let em know if you have other questions. But yes, we got through all of this and received our visa a couple of weeks ago with only the extra DS-160 thing, none of those others you listed above.

Oh i'm sorry my explanation here varies a little. We were fortunate enough that my fiance was here visiting me when we needed to send this in, so he brought his stuff with him and we sent it via DHL from the US. In your case, yeah you may want to send another? I'm confused how a consular will be able to notarize something they didnt see YOU sign. Isn't hat the point of a notary? If I were you I would send them a reply email and ask. That is confusing to me. Also, be prepared to wait 5 months to get an interview date. I hope that they will catch up for your sake, but we waited 5, others before us were waiting 6.....gurrrr.

[Karam and Jamie 44]

Thank you for your reply. I reallyyyyyy appreciate it but I am just so confused lol So, yesterday I went ahead and had both I-134 forms notarized at my bank (I have two jobs) and mailed them to Egypt. He is going to mail everything to the Embassy I thought? He is going to mail copies of his police report, birth certificate, passport and also send 2 passport pictures (are they picky about the guidelines for photos?) and the confirmation letter from the DS-160 application.

Can he just take with him to the interview my I-134 forms and all supporting evidence as well as his sealed envelope from his medical exam once he gets it? (In the email they said to do his medical exam only 3 weeks before the interview?). HERE IS WHAT THE EMAIL SAID:

6. An Affidavit of Support (Form I-134) signed by the Petitioner and notarized before either a notary public in the U.S. or a consular officer at the embassy (this can be done on the day of your appointment).

7. Petitioner’s most recent year of federal income taxes (form 1040 only). Please also bring the most recent W2 form and a job letter indicating current salary and length of employment. <-------------Can this also just be brought to the interview????

The reason I am asking this is to see if he can just go ahead and mail his stuff to the Embassy NOW to get it going, since like you said it takes forever to get an interview grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I'm confused. Are you a female living in the U.S. and your fiance is in Egypt? He got to come here to visit you????????? ahhhh jealous lol

[KMR&MHAH 11]
