Regarding the tax returns copies,...Do they need to be notarized???

I did.

I only have copies printed. I e-filed my tax returns. Do I get the printed copies notarized?

I had copies of the tax returns I had filed, with signature(s) and all. I took them to a notary, resigned and dated them on the bottom and had them notarized. I remember feeling this was really important to do cause we made a special trip to a crazy pharmacist/notary in Jamaica to have them done.

We have our interview next Tuesday and I didn't get mine notarized ..

I cannot remember the specifics of this; but I remember feeling very strongly that I must have them notarized. There are notaries in Jamaica if you choose to go this route. We went to a pharmacist/notary in Mo Bay.

I think the instruction does say NOTARIZED...tax returns. Now that I think about it.

Can you run to a Currency Exchange or your bank? I'm a Notary -- if you were close I would do it for you.

Kimmy -- This is from the USCIS website regarding the I-864

All sponsors must submit the following documentation with their I-864:

Proof of current employment or self employment

A photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income tax return for your most recent tax year, or an explanation if it is not submitted. Your W-2s and/or 1099 forms may also be required, see the I-864 instructions for details.

You may also, at your option, submit a photocopy or an Internal Revenue Service-issued transcript of your complete Federal income tax returns for your second and third most recent tax years if you believe these additional tax returns may help you establish the ability to maintain your household income at the governing threshold set forth in Form I-864P, Poverty Guidelines.

If you are using the income of persons in your household or dependents to qualify as a sponsor, you must also submit a separate Form I-864A, Contract Between Sponsor and Household Member, for each person whose income you will use.

Does it say notarized on the paperwork from the embassy? I know I saw it somewhere and that is why I freaked out at the nearly last minute and we went to get them notarized.

I interviewed in March, and I notarize mine too.

mr jengles got his visa today, I'm shocked I thought it would take at least two weeks, I was preparing myself to get on the phone and track it down.

WOW that was fast!! CONGRATS

wow Kim just one week away. I am nervous for you. Are you planning on going?

[MyDestinyAwaits 0]

that didn't make sense to me at all. the purpose of notarizing is to verify that your signature is on a document. the i-134 obviously needs to be notarized, but tax returns? that's silly. why would we need to sign our tax returns? but i read through packet 3 and it did say that 2 or more of the following items are needed:

-notarized tax returns

-statement from employer verifying employment and income

-letter from the bank verifying bank account deposits and balance

-any other evidence that demonstrates the ability to assume financial responsibility for immigrant

i didn't get my tax returns notarized, and they're already with my fiance. i'm not freaking out because notarizing tax returns is stupid. i really don't see the embassy making a big stink about the tax returns unless the looked like they've been doctored up. besides, i have tax returns and tax transcripts for the past three years. the tax transcripts came straight from the US government.

Kimmy I had to edit that last posting, I did notarize the I-134, but nothing else. You'll more than likely be ok
