Sworn affidavit needs to be US Citizen?

[Rhea10 2]

Good day!

 

I am currently preparing my documents for my removal of conditions and just want to know if Sworn affidavit verifying bona fide marriage from friends and family needs to be from U.S Citizen? Most of the people who know me and my husband even before we were married are not citizens of the U.S and was wondering if it's okay if they sign for me?

 

Any answers are appreciated. Thanks

No, they don't have to be USCs. But surely you have better evidence for ROC than this? You have been living together for two years or more so you should have plenty of better quality evidence.

As stated above, statements from friends and relatives are about as much value in the eyes of USCIS as the paper they are printed on. Concentrate on other forms of evidence of more value.

We used our affidavits to help connect pieces of secondary evidence.  For example, my parents wrote and affidavit that mentioned visiting us at our home and traveling with us to Europe.  This coupled with our flight itinerary and photos with my parents on the trip seemed to make the story a bit more complete.  We, of course, also sent in lots of primary documentation to indicate that we lived together and commingled finances.

Were your affidavits notarized? Is that required?

Not requires nor helpful

Affidavits can be from USC or GC holders. I believe they're helpful but they have to be supported with more evidence

ALL submitted affidavit signatures must be notarized per USCIS........but affidavits are not required, and they are of very little value.........other legal documents normally and naturally generated during a bona fide marriage are of much higher quality evidence.
