Getting ready to send this package off and just now realized that 2 affidavits are listed as suggested evidence, not "extra" evidence.  But I've seen folks say they're less impactful than other types of evidence.  So my question is, do you understand these to be required evidence, or just supplemental?  Anyone submitted without those?

ROC:

11/14/17 I-751 Package mailed (Vermont)

11/15/17 Package delivered

11/17/17 NOA1 date

11/25/17 NOA1 received in mail

 

K1 Visa process:

9/11/14 I-129F Packet Received by USCIS
9/15/14 NOA1 (text)
9/16/14 Status Update: Alien Registration # Changed
5/11/15 NOA2 (8:30 pm text, 238 days since NOA1)

6/09/15 Consulate Received (had to call embassy to check)
6/12/15 Packet Received
6/18/15 Packet Completed (had to call/visit embassy to schedule interview)
7/09/15 Interview Completed- APPROVED!! (after delay for US system errors, and rescheduling/postponing 3 times)

7/16/15 Visa In Hand (told to "come back tomorrow" first two times they said it would be ready)

7/18/15 POE Washington, D.C.

8/1/15 Legally Married
8/13/15 Filed for AOJ (also EAD and Travel)

Totally your call.

If you can get them easily and quickly, sure. If you have other strong evidence, or you think it's a hassle getting the affidavits, don't bother.

I think we have pretty good evidence.  All our finances have been joined since the beginning, we have a joint lease, we have joint insurance and list each other as beneficiaries on everything like retirement and insurance stuff, and filed joint taxes, have a joint loan and joint credit cards and bank accounts. We don't have a baby or a mortgage yet (though we're buying a house this month- no real paperwork to show for it yet, unfortunately) but our finances are all tied together. I'm including some mail and a few pictures as "fluffy" evidence.  The affidavits are a hassle at this point- I hate to bother other people with it.  So I'm gonna skip those and hope for the best!  Thanks, y'all!

So I thought about it right after I typed that and decided to include all the paperwork from our offer on the house, and then where we signed and accepted the seller's counter-offer. That's a legal contract, so I figure it's a good start. That literally all happened this weekend, so timing is working out okay after all on that. Thanks for the idea!
