Affidavit of support

[Angelalfred21 0]

Can anyone provide me with a copy or example of affidavit of support from friends and family approving of our relationship

An Affidavit of Support is an I-864. It is for sponsorship.

[JFH 12,190]

Affidavits from friends and family are pretty worthless. Focus on better quality evidence.

Paul & Mary is right, an affidavit of support is an I-864. But if you want to include affidavits from friends/family, below is the guideline my attorney had us send to family and friends which they then followed to write their letters.

Affidavits from family and friends are the worst evidence that you can furnish.  They are not primary evidence.   You don't have any other bona fides of you marriage?

Even though these letters come under the weakest evidence, I think if the couple is newly married and don't have many things together (depending on circumstances), it's still better than nothing.

Anyone can get a personal affidavit to say anything.  They are the easiest fake evidence to generate.
