The affidavit looks o.k. but rather than having a boilerplate template where you just fill in the blank each affidavit should be different and unique.

rather then saying:

1. I John Smith went to my daughter’s wedding on 6/21/2010

2. I ate cake

3. I danced

4. I went home

It should be a bit more personal like “I, john Smith, was introduced my son-in-law via internet by my daughter on…We went on vacation to meet him in person…With our blessing they married on…We like our son-in-law…blah blah, ect… ect…”

Make it a letter the tells the story from the witness point-of-view than a bullet point bland statements.

just my 2-cents...

6. I have a personal knowledge of the bona fide of ________________(Petitioner's and Beneficiary's names) relationship. Their marriage is legitimate, viable, and not entered into for any immigration-related purpose.

If were a CO and If I show the above statement, that would make me even more suspect, that this marriage may not be legitimate.
