Hi every one,

I received Packet 3. On the instruction for I-134, it says I need a NOTARIZED COPY OF THE LATEST FEDERAL INCOME TAX. My question is does " the copy of the income tax need to be notarized?". Please advise. Thanks

I am looking at the instructions for the I-134, and don't see that requirement.

thai2luv,

My guess is that sarakong is looking at the OF-167 (DS-2000) instruction for evidence that can be presented to meet the public charge provisions of the law, not the I-134 instructions.

And no, the copy of the income tax return does not need to be notarized for the consulate in Bangkok, despite what the instruction says.

we went to charlotte today (3 hrs drive) for 9.30 appointment.. they called us in at 9.20 (we arrived like 45 mins early) and she just took our papers and ask me only one question..."how did we meet" and then we talked all about our dog and her dogs and then she said i'm approved!! YEY !! we went out at 9.35am... in and out.. so fast!

I was kinda panic though so I gave her my real documents (also my W2) and i wasnt thinking about it until we drove back.. i have to ask for a replancment :whistle: we had the copy but well.. she got both the real one and the copy one and problably didnt notice it ;) ... or - it might just laying around in the waiting area.. who know.. i know only i dont have it now.. lol

she also took my EAD cards (the real one and the interim one) and i have a stamp on my passport - the Green Card will be in a mail about 2 weeks

oh.. she mention that she was so surprised our case is done so fast.... normally Charllote office takes longer time... we just fly!!! (L)

Kung's EAD was approved on May 8th. I recieved 5 of the same email updates yesterday. So it looks like she will have her EAD for about 1 month before we have our AOS interview. Oh well, better than having it approved after I guess.
