Not sure where to post this..

I am planning on getting statements from my parents about their knowledge and approval of me and my fiances relationship. Should it be typed up any special way, or is there an example on here anywhere, or does anyone have any help in typing this paper correctly? Since Morocco is a high scam country, we want to make sure we cover our bases to make sure they dont question our relationship.. Any help is appreciated!

The Example Forms section here on VJ has an example Sworn Affidavit from Friends To give you some idea of basic formating. (Note: The example on VJ shows formatting with a Notary's signature section but notarization isn't always needed.)

The first thing people pulling a scam do is get affidavits from family members and friends. That said, if you wish to include them, there is no particular format. That family member of friend would write a letter expressing thier thoughts and sign it. Letters must be in English or translated. Original signature, notary is not usually required (can be consulate specific) but a notary would not hurt.

Including these doesn't hurt anything but they are of secondary (at best) importance as anyone can do them for anyone at anytime. I could write out letters all day long for couples, sign them with different names and even notarize them myself, having not used my real name for the letter. See? Consulates are aware of this and grant the appropriate weight in making a decision. Hopefully you will have LOTS more evidence of relationship wo go with them.

You can check out the notes of my conversations with a USCIS director with many years experience reviewing cases for AOS and Lifting Conditions. While he does not speak for the consulates, you can get an idea of what he thinks of such evidence (you will be presenting it to USCIS next, if you get the visa)

Well if its going to hurt my case then I most definitely dont want to do it.. I have thought about the idea that it would help us but then might seem a little TOO put together..

It won't hurt. It is secondary evidence at best. Include it with the body of evidence you present. Why not?

I had already planned on doing the same thing. I think it's a great idea, especially if your family can't travel to meet his family.

Even if such letters are secondary evidence, they cannot hurt and could help. See the U.S. Consulate forum for the thread "Getting Testimonial Letters" for details. In brief, adding to what's been posted above here, each letter-writer needs to provide complete contact information for himself.

While not needed for the petition, the letters may be of use at the consulate level.

From what I've seen in some MENA threads the family knowledge and approval can be a significant issue.
