Quick (dumb) question about London and I-134

 Share

Recommended Posts

If this needs to be moved, that's fine, but I was just wondering why I need 3 notarized copies of the I-134? I think I read that in one of the guides here, but it doesn't say why, and I've not seen anything else about 3 notarized copies. Having 3 copies isn't mentioned in my Nolo press book. either.

Does the London Embassy need this? Is this to have it for AOS?

I don't recall seeing that. I only had 1 notorized copy (and then a photocopy of that). They took the notorized copy from Chas.

At AOS, you use the I 864 (or I 864 EZ), which no longer has to be notorized.

Phew. Thanks! That's what I thought.

I read that weird tidbit in the "Tips" section:

When you fill out the I-134, fill out the one form, then you can duplicate it to make two copies more, and

sign all 3 in the presence of the notary, that way you end up with 3 certified copies (you can copy this

form, it says so on the instructions.) and you only have to fill it out once.

Well color me silly for not remembering that! :lol:

Obviously there's no harm in it, but I just don't see the point, particularly if all I'd want a copy for is my own reference (in which case a photocopy does just fine).

Well, I don't want to spend money I don't need to -- so I'm glad I just need the one bit notarized!

Thanks, Tracy!

I just got back from BofA, and that's what they told me, too.

Grrr.

How odd.

We have several at my office, so that's where I found mine. Maybe if you know anyone in the real estate biz, they'd have one at their office that they'd let you use. Otherwise, $10 or so isn't that bad.

We have a notary on staff, but since this involves salary etc., I'd rather not share with the office.

I'm just annoyed at my bank. Grr. Grr. Grr.

One more dopey notary-type question:

What else needs to be notarized? I have my tax transcripts, and my last tax return (although that's duplicated in the tax transcripts). Anything else?
