No, but more importantly, your question indicates you did not carefully read the instructions for the I-134. Doing so with all forms is going to be critical to your eventual success.

The instructions specifically say "No."

Thank you all for your quick replies but i read somewhere on VJ that New delhi embassy still needs the form I-134 notarised.

Well I can say that from just having to deal with this same issue it wasn't that I did not read the instructions but that the embassy at Moscow states on their website that the I-134 form must be notarized and from my understanding the embassy rules trumps all. Upon further investigation I found out from the embassy that the form does not have to be notarized and that the embassy had not updated their website.

Before we jump down the OP's throat how about some compassion? We all make mistakes and the OP could have been confused by something similar to what I had experienced.

Zahid, I read the same thing in Delhi website 'after' I had already sent my fiance the newer version of I-134. This was NOT notarized, nor can it be as there isn't any space for it. The Embassy accepted it without complaint.

You must sign Form I-134 in your full name. (Note: Signing Form I-135 is under penalty of perjury under U.S. law). For this reason, it is not necessary to sign Form I-134 before a notary, nor to have your signature notarize after you sign it.

Actual Consulate or Embassy rule DO trump anything else but outdated website information doesn't. There is no need to Notarize the I-134 and hasn't been for several years.

Thank you for your compassion. We all read up and prepare as much as we can, and this site is an excellent resource. Seriously, the help which Zahid has received from everyone on here (especially Karen, Sara and Tasha) has been monumental!

I think you are right Chris. See, the issue is we all (or maybe just some of us) get confused because sites are not updated and we are looking at something that used to be required, but isn't any longer. I appreciate your kind response. Have a great day and good luck with your interview.

Please don't add to everybody else's stress by confusing encouragement to read instructions as jumping down somebody's throat. The OP didn't ask about a conflict between a website and the I-134 instructions.

Before you interpret this as jumping down YOUR throat, please notice it is a simple "request" that begins with the word "please".

Thank you pushbrk. Seriously your comment is very helpful for me and others also who will or have read this post. This will surely encourage other people also to read the instructions clearly. thank you once again everyone for your replies.

Karen you are too sweet

I am in no way trying to add stress or pick a fight. Just a simple conversation.

No, the OP did not ask about the instructions and the website, you are correct.

But, you are under the presumption that the OP did not read the instructions and your initial comment could be misconstrued as being a bit rough around the edges. The OP did not asked to be lectured either. This is a common question that I have seen on here that many people have had some confusion about.

In my situation there wasn't continuity between what the form had stated and what the embassy has posted on the website. So naturally, confusion ensued. I was merely suggesting that there could have been a similar situation. We should let the OP explain the situation before we assume anything.

I do not think you are jumping down my throat. I understand your position. If it is a case of the OP not following instructions then yes, it is in their best interest to read more carefully.

The website is supposed to be one of the mouthpieces of the embassies and if they are giving you misguided info then who do you ask?

Several Years? What year do you have for the change? I have 10/30/2008, precisely 1 year and 12 days.

PS) Happy to see you here posting!

You're right. It took a long time to update the I-134 to follow the new laws. It's the I-864 that hasn't needed notarization since sometime in 2005.
