I-134 expiring?

[jedioncrk 0]

I would like to notorize all the documents as early as possible before the interview, but I noticed that the I-134 is set to expire 04/30/07. If the form expires on this date and the interview date occurs after this date, do I need to notorize again?

Also, I have seen others say copies of passport/pay stub/bank statements need to be notorized too. Is that true? That seems to be way overboard if you ask me.

Thanks in advance!

Only the I-134 needs to be notarized. You can take the originals of any other documents to the interview to show them, and provide them with photocopies to keep and then they will give you your originals back.

hey, i wondered the same thing a few weeks ago. i emailed the guangzhuo consulate and they told me the i134 never expires. of course they were as vague as possible in their response, so i'm not sure if they mean once it's notrazied the document never expires, or simply that they don't care if it's a year old and you've quit your job since, just so long as it is notraized and true at that time.

here's their response:

"hank you for your inquiry!

Form I-134 is good forever but should be notarized when complete.
