Hi everyone,

I'm just putting together my I-751 petition, and one of my letters from an interstate friend isn't "notarized" or "sworn". I know notarization isn't essential, but I believe it should say something on there like "i swear this to be true....."

What do you think, should I include it anyway? Leave it out? (I already have two Affadavits) I could write "I swear this to be true...etc" on the letter myself, but I really don't want to jeopardise this petition in any way.

Appreciate any opinions, thanks.

It depends how much other evidence you have. Two affidavits sounds enough so personally I wouldn't bother with the 3rd, but it's not gonna harm your case at all if you do decide to include it. None of mine were notarized or sworn and it didn't make a difference to my case.

Thanks for the input.

I put the whole thing together last night - since it shouldn't hurt, and there seem to have been lots of people who submit letters without notarization, I think i'll leave it in. To the post office!!! :dance:
