Affidavits of support don't need to be notarized anymore.

Yes very true!

I know that some places like New Delhi ( :protest: ) still want it though. I don't want a little thing to slow things down after this long wait. (Again my thanks to New Delhi for that! :ranting: )

Hi Rohini! :)

No, Delhi does not insist that you have the I-134 notarized. They just haven't updated their website. So the new I-134 of 10/30/2008 that does not require notarization will suffice.

Take care and very best wishes!
