Hi everybody,

I am getting my packet 3 ready, and I would like to know what to do with the affidavit of support.

I know I need to fill it out ( well my fiance)and get all the proofs that my fiance has enough funds and all,

but I have to bring it to someone who will sign an oath to say it's all true.

Who is that person?

Is it a notary? ( don't know one)

Or can my fiance go to the US embassy in my country and have someone sign it there?

Thanks so much for your help.

If it's the new form, it does not need to be notarized.

You will take it with you to the interview.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

It's not the new form unfortunately...

it does need to be notarized.

But by who?

Thanks!

Suggest you guys download the new version.

If for some (odd) reason you guys insist on using the form that requires notarization..a Notary Public will sign and stamp the document (found at any US bank, and other places too).

Seriously though - it is a simple matter to download and complete the new version. (Found here on VJ and on www.uscis.gov also.)

I don't insist at all on using the most complicated one! I just wonder if my embassy will accept the newer version, since they sent me the older one in packet 3...

what do you think?

Thanks!

Well, Ankara has on their website to have that form notarized, but the link they provided shows the new (non-notarized) form,

So I emailed them about this.

And they responded back, old one = notarized, new one = not notarized.

Contact the embassy for guidance, but you will not be wrong in using the new forms, IMO.

Yes (they will) - the new version was fairly recently propagated so they may simply still have a supply of the 'old' ones - you can use either. :thumbs:

Oh that's fantastic! Thanks so much!

I have a few more questions...

QUestion 3 on the affidavit of support: This affidavit is executed on behalf of the following person: That's me right? his fiancee?

And question 8: the following persons are dependent upon me for support: is that me too? I don't work so I do depend on him financially, but I will work eventually... what do we check?

And question 11: I do intend, or do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of person named in item 3.

If do intend say what exactly.

What do we write?

Thank you SO much for your help. All of you!

What do we write? Most folks follow the example in the guides and write "N/A ( K1 visa process for permanent residence )"

Thank you SO much for your help. All of you!
