Affidavits

[andrea** 0]

I have almost completed the paperwork for Form I-751. I was originally thinking that I wouldn't send in the affidavits from friends seeing as we have a lot of other evidence. However, the language used in the instructions implies that the documents we send should include the affidavits. Has anyone's application ever been denied or held up for not sending them in? I would like to put the application in the mail tomorrow but would rather wait a few days and do the affidavits if it might cause us a problem at a later stage. I would appreciate any feedback about this,

I wouldn't worry about sending them...

I didn't send in any either...

Depends on what the other evidence is that you have a lot of. There were some RFEs being sent out a couple of months ago to people who thought they had sufficient "other evidence," and these people responded to the RFEs with affidavits that they had not included in the first place. Generally, if you thoroughly cover all of the other bases of evidence listed, you probably won't need affidavits. But too much is never enough with USCIS . . . .

We did not send any affidavits

lol, no doubt because you haven't even gotten to the I-751 stage yet!

I think affidavits are very important. We sent five with Claudeth's paperwork and within a month have already had the biometrics appointment scheduled. We didn't have all the recommended documents so did the affidavits. Good luck

If you can send affidavits, please send. It wouldn't hurt, rather it could be helpful.

I'm not commenting on the pros or cons in sending them.. BUT (no offense) I doubt the speed in which you got your

biometrics appointment was based on that. The best I can figure the biometrics appointment it is based on how busy your local office is.

Sending a few affadavits along can only help the processing situation!

Best wishes...

my process took less then 2 months and I didn't send in any affidavits so I doubt that has any bearing on it...

if you have plenty of other evidence I don't think affidavits are necessary...

Forget it, he's on a roll.

We didn't send any in, HOWEVER, with the previously (some time last year) changed wording on the I751 forms, I would be sending them in now.

Its not a local office processing them, it is CSC. The appointment letter came from CSC and I was told the last time Claudeth went for biometrics that the governing office (at that time it was MSC) schedules the appointment based on the calendar of the office nearest to our residence.

I don't think the wording has changed....

The documents should cover, but not limited to,the following examples:

I am pretty sure that is what it said when I applied to remove conditions

mmm, but if I am reading it correctly it says examples still... which would mean the following list are just examples...

if the wording makes it seem that they have to be included that would mean birth certificates would have to be included and how would people who don't have kids accomplish that...
