Do I need to notarize any document for fiancee K1 visa before sending them to US embassies?

Question

My fiancee lives outside US but not Mexico

Answer 1

yes you have to...............

Answer 2

I would.  Usually they require it so stay on the safe side and do it.

Answer 3

Look you are about to go through a process that if the paperwork on the application is not 100% correct the application will be denied. You should contact an immigration attorney who specializes in K-1 visas. There is an excellent immigration attorney in La Jolla California by the name of Holmes and Lolly. Go to this link;  http://www.fianceevisas.com/

They even have a toll free number to call. Call these people and talk with them. The phone consultation is free. I promise you will not regret letting these attornies represent you and your fiancee.

Answer 5

In general, you should notarize any document that says you should, either on the form itself or in the instructions.

It can be useful to notarize any supporting document you can, as well.  Even though, frankly, we don't believe notarized documents any more than we do non-notarized ones, we do appreciate the effort you went to to get them done.
