Hi VJ members, I just got married in Grenada. We are preparing our petition for the spousal visa. My question is about the proof of bona fide marriage that is not 'required' but 'recommended' for one to have in this initial petition, besides the marriage license. (Incidentally, the immigration lawyer I spoke with for an hour a few months ago said he never includes anything but the marriage license when they are doing the petition for a client. Is the logic here that if you hire a lawyer you must have a bona fide marriage? He wouldn't explain. ) The Issue--We have no mingling of finances yet, so I have gotten affidavits from a few people. One person in Grenada made one, had it notarized by a JP as needed, and sent it to me, but unfortunately did not include his date and place of birth. Obviously it's needed so the person can be verified as a real person. Can I add it to the affidavit myself (I'm guessing not) or should I include the affidavit without that info, or just not include the affidavit at all, avoiding a possible RFE request? Or, ask that the person do the whole thing over again? This is becoming a stupid burden I must say . . . but oh well. Any advice for us? Thanks in advance. Julia
