Get New Affidavits, or Reuse Old Ones? [split topic]

[Venkat0007 0]

Hi, I am applying for I751 to remove petitions on my 2yr card. I have sent a bunch of letters of Affidavits from Freinds and family like 15-20 of them. Now for I751 do I need to send new letter from new people? Or Should i send the old ones again or just not send at all as they already have them? Please advise.

@Venkat0007 if you want to attach affidavits for I-751 they should be fresh affidavits, not something you already used for AOS. They can be from the same people. No need to send all 15-20. USCIS would be happy with 2-5. Also ensure to include other evidence of bonafide marriage such as:

- Joint Leases

- Joint bank account statements

- Joint assets

- Joint tax return transcripts

- Copies of IDs or Driver Licenses showing same address

- Joint Memberships

- Travel reservations with both names

- Birth certificates of children with both of your names

I'm trying to understand why so many people on VJ spout off advice or opinions like its fact.....

 

Whenever I offer information or advice I always preface by saying something to the effect of "In my opinion......, Based on my experience......., Based on my research I suggest......., etc,, etc." and always include some form of information whether it's through testaments, articles, etc. 

 

For example....."affidavits are very poor evidence"....can you please provide some data or some form of evidence that shows this rather than simply stating it like it's fact? Just to be clear, I am not saying one way or another whether or not this is a correct or incorrect statement. I'm simply asking for some backup material to prove that it is indeed true or clarification that it is simply an opinion based on experience. 

 

I am by no means trying to initiate conflict, I am simply trying to point out that this is a forum designed for the purpose of providing information as a collective where 1000's if not tens of thousands come for help. Some people will take information at face value and run with it with it without any due diligence and others will be more cautious in what they take from here so I think it's only right that people clarify whether or not advice that is given is simply that....and not to be taken as fact.

Two immigration lawyers told me, independently, that "affidavits should be provided only when other evidence is weak."

And estate documents -- Wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, et al.  These make excellent evidence for ROC and are even more valuable to have in Life.

The above have been split from an old (now-closed) thread in this forum.

This language does sound like it's intended to initiate conflict, and your post itself is a hijack of the topic.  If the answers here aren't satisfactory, open a new thread in the Site Discussion forum.
