By the wy where do you get something notarised in the UK? Can you go to a bank like in the US?My fiancee is in Scotland and has no idea

To my knowledge, the only place you can get an immigration document notarized in the UK is at the US Embassy.

Embassy would not accept this, Which meant my case was suspended until I was able to submit the notarized letter. Which I have done now, just waiting visa from courrier.

So if you don't get a interview date before June 5th, make sure you take a notarized letter of intent, or else your case will be delayed.

Goodluck,

I have never heard of the letters having to be notarized. In lieu of notarization, one can use what I call "magic language" -- "I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct." This has to appear at the end of the document but before the signature which needs to be dated.

The "offical" stuff we said (after the how did we meet, and mushy stuff) was:

"I intend to marry Keith ***** within 90 days of his lawful entry to the United States of America with a fiancé visa.

As evidence of our relationship I have attached documentation including copies of photographs, emails, and telephone bills."

I would not worry if you didn't include such a statement - if they want it, they'll ask for it

He still has not gotten his interview scheduled, we are waiting for them to tell him when to come. From reading other posts I can assume that his interview will be scheduled for the end of June or early July, but that is after the 90 day mark of the approval notice. I was told that the entire application would expire 90 days from the approval notice, so now I am in a panic.

Does anyone know where I can get the papers to file an extension? It took a long time for the two police clearances to come through, as well as his birth certificate. I was yelled at by other people saying "you should have been working on that before he got his check list" but this is the first time I have ever done this and neither one of us knew what to expect so we waited for the check list and did it then, and its taken very long.

So I guess I have to file an extension but I don't know where to begin. There are no forms on the USCIS site or information.

If anyone knows of anything please let me know. I dont want to spend the money to start this process all over again.

Thanks!
