Notarization is unnecessary.. Follow the K1 guide and the USCIS/embassy instructions. You'll do fine.

The others may be right but it doesn't hurt to get a few papers notorized. Such as your intent to marry ( both of you), and your bank statement, etc. It's nothing major at all, just if you want to do a little something extra to impress the USCIS.

Just so folks know (most do I'm sure) - a Notary Public certifies signatures not documents (they check your I.D., and watch you sign a piece of paper). Notarizing one's signature on a copy of their birth certificate (for example) doesn't certify the birth certificate - it's still just a copy with an authentic autograph on it. Not saying it's a bad idea but you might wear out your welcome at the Notary pretty quickly. And it doesn't seem to impress USCIS. :)

Hello,

I am going to be submitting I-129F package and just wanted to see if I have to notarize all the papers and which ones if I do? Also, my fiancee is not in the US, does she have to notarize her papers over there? Thank you so much...

Your question indicates you have not read the I-129F instructions or studied the K1 guide. Neither will mention notarizing anything. Doing this homework will be critical to your eventual success. We have no clue what you may have missed by not doing your homework, so we have no clue what questions you might have after doing so. Do it, then come back with your remaining questions. Expect there will be some.

Thanks all for your comments, I appreciate it...for this last guy, it's on this website that I have found something about notarization, you obviously haven't done your homework...

"3.3.1)...Where can I get someone to notarize my documents?

A..The best place is at a bank, credit union, or savings and loan institution. If you do business with one, the services will usually be free. If not, each "signature" will cost a few dollars. "

This above is in the K Visa FAQs...

Thank you all again for your help and good luck with your journey!
