Unless you personally are close to them and they've been closely involved in your life since your relationship started, a random doctor/representative/congressman knows no better of how genuine your relationship is than USCIS does. Won't help.

This is from Hank, we had this conversation before..

 

 

The affidavit doesn't need to be anything complicated, just states the facts.

 

"To whom it may concern;

 

I, NAME, am NAME RELATION (Brother, Sister, Friend, Coworker, Etc.) and have known him/her/them for XX years. I am writing this letter to attest to the validity of the Marriage between NAME and NAME. I have been a witness to their relationship since they (Dated/were engaged/Got Married/While they were married) and they are truly in love.

@beatbaba Type "I130" in google and go to the official page where the form is. Under the section "Checklist of Required Initial Evidence" it talks about the affidavit.

Those are examples. In practice, they have very little to no real value (as noted, there is no way to verify their accuracy, nobody submits a negative one, and literally anybody can submit one).

The notary only verifies the signature and makes no comment on the statement.  That is one reason affidavits carry such little weight.  They are not sworn so there is no chance of perjury.  I will have a statement notarized that says I am Santa Clause.  The statement isn't worth the cost of the paper it is on.

@geowrian I was just answering the original post/question, about simple letters. I simply referred to what the website says the third party affidavits attesting to the marriage should cover. They may not provide much according to what you said but someone should provide it anyway in the package and have more than less. Anyone should submit it and then let the reviewing officer determine it’s worthless than assume it’s worthless and not have it and the case doesn’t get approved.
