Affidavit of single status?

[Hao 1]

Hi, I am a September K1 filer. I am still waiting for NOA2 from CSC, but I thought I should start getting some documents ready. I read from some old posts that some people need an Affidavit of Single Status, but it is not mentioned in the K1 visa guide, so it is not clear to me whether it is needed for my case (I-129F K1 application, Vietnam). So my question is, do I need it? If so, where/how do I get one? (I read that I can type it up and get it notarized at the City Hall, but I don't know what to write without seeing a sample one...)

Thanks in advance!

This issue is generally specific to certain countrys only such as the Philippines. I don't know if Vietnam requests these at the interview, I have not seen anyone post that they needed one.

It is very common here in Philippines. CO definitely will look for a proof of singleness during interview. Dunno if it's the same in Vietnam. We call it here CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage).

Thanks for the information!! I think Vietnam requires it too. Do you know if I can get it notarized in the U.S. (maybe at the City Hall or Clerk's office?), or do I need to go to the U.S. embassy in Vietnam? (I just came back from Vietnam a week ago and can't go back soon...)

I was wondering the same thing about that.

My sister in law stated that when she was getting sponsored, she needed it. Of course this was 10 years ago. When I went to the website, it stated that if you were marrying, you'd have to have the affidavit of single status but not for k1. I heard you can get it at court of clerk...that's what that office is called here in Louisiana.

I'm not sure if it's required in your country but here in Philippines, single K1 applicants must bring CENOMAR or Certificate Of No Marriage during the interview.
