What needs to be notarized? Help!!

[adamjan 1]

Hi everyone!

Right now I am confused as to what my fiancé needs to send me after getting NOA2. I sent him the list from visa journey (copy of Noa2, affidavit of support, etc), but he said that a friend who also filed for K-1 didn't send anything because everythig needed for the interview (aside from NBI clearance, CeNoMar etc) will come from packet 3. And then another friend said that we need to notarize things before he sends them to me.

We decided it's better to send me the things on the list then risk not having it when the interviewer asks.

So which ones need to notarization? Letter of intent to marry? Or I-134? All?

Thanks so much!

Since you mention NBI and Cenomar, I am assuming you're talking about the Philippines. It's REALLY important to mention the country at the embassy stage, as every embassy follows slightly different rules and procedures.

Since other than recognizing Cenomar as a Philippine thing, I know nothing about the specifics there, I'll leave it to others -- but in general for most embassies, you need to send what VisaJourney indicates: NOA2 copy, financial support forms, and evidence of bonafide relationship (which may have been in your initial packet). As far as I know, nothing needs to be notarized but that will VARY BY COUNTRY so wait for specific answers from your fellow country-people.

My fiance is from the Philippines, and I just sent him all my papers a few days ago. I did not have anything notarized. Just make sure all the papers that need signatures are originals and not copies. Also update the date on the letter of intent.

Here is a link that is provided by another VJ member, Hank. It contains pretty much everything you need to know for the process now that you have your NOA2. (Hank, stealing the link from you for this time cuz you're probably asleep since you weren't the first to post )

I personally notarized the affidavit of support form. That was required by the Jamaica embassy. You are tight in sending the things that you did. Packet 3 will be giving your fiancé a check list of all the things he needs to gather wich includes what you have sent and severalpre that he has to handle.
