Do I need to notarize my affidavit of support?

Who needs to file Form I 864 Affidavit of Support?
If you are a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident and are sponsoring a family member to immigrate to the United States, you will likely need to file one or more of the I-864 Affidavit of Support forms with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
What documents do I need for i-864?
A copy of your individual Federal income tax return, including W-2s for the most recent tax year, or a statement and/or evidence describing why you were not required to file. Also include a copy of each and every Form 1099, Schedule, and any other evidence of reported income.
Can you file i-130 and i-864 together?
You should not have to file the Form I-864 when you are filing the Form I-130 petition since the beneficiary is outside the US. At that time, as the petitioner, you will include the I-864 with the immigrant visa package that is sent to the Embassy by the NVC.
Who fills out I-864?
As the person completing Form I-864, you are the sponsor (or, as appropriate, a substitute sponsor or joint sponsor). By signing this form, you agree to financially support an immigrant who applies for either an immigrant visa or adjustment of status to become a lawful permanent resident.
How does i-864 count household size?
The household size is calculated by including all of the below:
- The sponsor (yourself).
- Your spouse, if you are currently married.
- Your dependent unmarried children under the age of 21 years.
- Any other dependents listed on your most recent federal income tax return, even if that person is not related to you.
Can a joint sponsor use household member?
If the individual who filed the visa petition has died, a substitute sponsor may sign this form along with a household member. If there is a joint sponsor, the joint sponsor may sign this form along with a household member.
