Notary for AOS docs

[maggieNomar 0]

I did a topic search but don't see the answer to my question. Is there anything in the AOS package that needs to be notarized aside from the support papers? Thank you.

The support papers don't have to be notarized.

Nope. I think you're thinking of the I-134 Affadavit of Support, which is not part of the AOS package. That did need to be notarized...nothing in this AOS one does.

Nothing needs notarization, even the support papers.

I-864 does not need notarization nor do the supporting documents.

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

At the discretion of the officer, original documents may still be required in individual cases. Please be advised that USCIS no longer returns original documents submitted with the exception of Certificates of Naturalization, Forms I-551, Permanent Resident Card, Forms I-94, Arrival/Departure Document, valid passports, or those specifically requested by the officer. Such documents will be returned when they are no longer needed.

Thanks everyone. I knew if I posted it here my wonderful VJ buddies would come to my aid. And thanks for setting me straight on the support doc. I was going to submit the one I already did that was not retained by the consulate, but oops, wrong one!! I'll get to work on that as well. See you guys along the AOS journey.
