My wife got non-availability certificate from her birth muncipality and 2 affidavits from parents !! I send all docs to lawyer to file my 485 ..The affidavits WERE NOT ON STAMP PAPER but plain paper signed by parents...Lawyer says that if the affidavits are not notarized I will get RFE ...My dilema is her parents are in SINGAPRORE and will go back to INdia only after 1 month.....what is my option now ?

1) should i tell lawyer to file 485 ( so that my ND/RD is sometime in Feb !! and thereby pass 180 days asap before my comp lays me off !!)
2) wait till her parents get back to INdia ( man i dont want to do this !!)
3) IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET THESE DOCS NOTARIZED IN USAA??

Please help !

From your list looks like getting a faster RD is more important to you. In that case (if u feel that it is very very important) i would file for 485 with whatever documents i have and in the meantime try to get a notarized affadavit later. I have read on other sites that it is okay "not to notarize".

2) wait till her parents get back to INdia ( man i dont want to do this !!)

This is going to take time. If there are notaries, her parents can sign at singapore and send them to you. It does not need to be in a stamp paper but rather have a notary stamp after her parents sign in front of the notary. I am sure there are Singapore people in here. Address a discussion with this heading "Notary in Singapore"

3) IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET THESE DOCS NOTARIZED IN USAA??

You cannot get their letter notarized but probably you (or better ur wife) can write a letter saying that their letter is genuine and sign in front of a notary - talk to your attorney about this.

Good Luck

Thanks hariA!! I think I will ask my lawyer to apply I-485...since I am the primary applicant my processing will continue while my wifes application might get an RFE ? right ?? ...www.immihelp.com doesn\'t say it has to be notarized ...i followed them.....

Finally this is what i did...I talked to my inlaws in Singapore last night and told them to get the afffidavits notarized / attested..They went to Indian Consulate at Singapore same day and consulate officials said they attest affidavits for a fee...they paid the fee and will get the affidavits attested by Govt Of India next day...then they will fax them to my lawyer in Chicago...I talked to my lawyer and she mentioned yes that should do the job !! Hopefully i wont now get a RFE.....Just an FYI for people who wants to get documents attested by Govt of India outside India ...
