OK.. I spent a few hours trying to find an answer and I'm confused.. The instructions for I-864A state it needs to be notzrized. I read other posts where people say it doesn't need to. I'm not sure who to believe since the USCIS websites might have been updated since the time those people who didn't not notzrize the form filed for AOS.Recent filers(spring-summer), could you please share the experience with me whether you notarized the I-864A or not and if not notarizing it was a problem? It's not that I don't want to notarize it(it's free at a bank), i just don't know what to tell a notary when he asks me where to stamp and sign the form. I don't want to get an RFE because a notary stamped the last page of I-864A...Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please don't confuse I-864 nad I-864A. On uscis website it DOES NOT say that I-864 must be notarized. However, it says so about I-864A.

Especially, want to get answers from people that submitted I-864 WITHOUT notarization.

Hi, Yes, you should get I-864A notorized and it should be by both the sponsor and person filling out the I-864A that jointly files there taxes with the sponsor because they both need to sign this form. I know they don't give room to notorize it but we had it notorized along the side of the page that both of them need to sign.

I know you wanted to hear from people that didn't have it notorized to know what happened but it does say in the instructions to have it notorized.

Good luck to you
