Affidavit of Support-italian case

Hallo, my cousin who lives in LA would sign the affidavit of support for me. What I am not very sure about is the validation of the document. In the instructions I read that the affidavit should be sworn to or affirmed before an officer of US citizenship . How does this work?
If this can help she is italian legally residing in the USA married to an italian with a green card. She works at the italian consulate in LA.
She's here in italy on vacation for a few days and I would have her fill the I 134 form here. How do we validate it?
thank you in advance

I am not 100% sure but I guess that this affidavit should be signed in front of the notary.
Notary will usually certify that she is who she is and very all documents.
You might want to check with immigration attorneys there in LA just to be on the safe side.
Also, be mindful that affidavit of support must come from LPR or USC (greencard holder or US citizen).
 
Thanks a lot ykasumov. yes my cousin is a green card holder. thanks a lot for the info.
Just in case and to be sure, I will have a bank statement with me as well certifying that I have available funds on my account. A signed letter of the bank should be enough right?
thanks again
 
Sounds good.
Signed letter from the bank should be sufficient evidence for presence of enough funds.
Be prepared that USCIS / SOS might contact your cousin about affidavit and be prepared for it.
Make sure all taxes - local and federal are paid and there is no pending legal actions and things of what nature.
 
together with the affidvit does my cousin have to provide the tax payments as well?
For the bank statement how far away from the day of my interview would you recommend to have it prepared and signed by the bank? the closer the better I guess, because anybody could have the money in the bank now and not in one month's time...
thanks in advance
 
according to i-134 form tax return is only required for past year for self-employed sponsor.
as far as bank account, uscis needs date accountwas opened, total amount deposited for past year (i guess to prevent suspicious last minuted deposits) and current balance. Look at the form below:
