Affidavit letter from family and friends.

[manoni 37]

Hello All,

 

 Would like to ask about the Affidavit letter, could it be from non USC nor a resident in the US, for example from my sister that is visiting in the US?

Am in the process of compiling my I751 form and documents therefore, am here more often to ask.  Also If there are some folks that due to file by end April or around this time maybe we can

share our thoughts and experiences.

 

TIA

I would suggest concentrating on stronger evidence.  Affidavits are weak, and are not required.   We did not use affidavits because they are not worth the trouble of generating, notarizing, etc.

I think it is important to have it as it is  in the instructions of I751  where the part of Evidences of the relationship explained:

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.

 

 

 the following list of evidences are what we have:

 

Medical insurance with both names on the policy

cars insurance with both names on the policy

home insurance with both names on the policy

Rental insurance with both names on the policy

tax script for the past 3 years filed together

joint saving account for the past 14 month

joint credit card for the past 7 month

 joint leasing contract for our current resident

joint electricity and internet bills

general power of attorney from me to my husband

life insurance with my name as the beneficiary from my husband

Costco membership with both names

some mails that was received by both of us to the same address

our driving license has the same address on them

parcel pending notification by emails for both of us indicating the same address.

 

We don't have many pictures only some with my mom and sisters

 

Would like to know if the above is good enough or we are short in Evidences?

 

TIA

Looks good to me......don't forget that affidavits must be notarized....and remember the people are subject to being interviewed....

affidavits are very poor evidence. yes, they are allowed, but if you are a 'normal'/ married couple, they are unnecessary

 

jointly filed taxes

credit cards

bank accounts

wills/poa's

insurances

bills/utilities

home ownership/apartment rental

loans

 

all these things are are typically in both peoples names and accounts used by both is what they are truly looking for

I would say your best bet would be USA citizens. 

 

I got my letters from two friends I got to know through my husband

 

Hope this helps and good luck!

Thank you for your reply, is there typically  a sample of the letter or template that you followed?

 

TIA

Not really, this might help:

I do notice both of our friends letters have:

 

"I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge." 

 

so that is a must have, and it would be great if they include their contact information (you'll never know)

 

Hope this helps!

No but a letter or affidavit from your sister who sees you once a year isnt as strong as someone who sees you both monthly.
