Folks

I just started getting stuff together for the I-751, looking thru the FAQs here at VJ, and it says that the affidavits from people stating that my wife and I have a legitimate marriage need to include the Social Security Numbers of those writing them (Question 7.8.1). Although I'm sure my friends would be okay with this, I still feel funny about asking anybody to put their SSN on anything. Also, I noticed that the sample affidavit for the I-751 on this site was set up to be notarized. Should I be having folks put their SSNs on these, and furthermore have them notarized?

Also, I was wondering if it would be a good idea if one of the affidavits was written by my parents (I'm the USC), or if it would be better to get both of them from "neutral" parties. Also, do you think it would be okay to get an affidavit from someone who had previously wrote one for us for the AOS process?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

I never included any affidavits but if I had I would not have included SSN, I dont think it matters who they are from as they dont carry much weight unless you are lacking in other evidence...

Remember the list is only examples of what you could include...

Thanks for all of your advice. :)

Another question..... do you think it makes a difference if the person writing the affidavit is a U.S. citizen themselves? It seems that a good share of our friends are not from the U.S.

I think permanent residents (Green card holders) would be ok as well...

we didnt put their ssn down...i didnt even get them notarized

Exactly what I did. I just asked one of our mutual friends to write something (she got married in Sept and that's where Joshua's picture was taken below) She wrote & signed the letter and put her phone number on it.

I didn't ask for her SSN & I didn't have it notarized. I felt like I had enough other evidence though.

Sept 10, 2001... Arrived in US (J1)

Sept 2002... AOS (J1 to F1)

March 2003...AOS Approved

Feb 2005... Joshua, our little cutie pie is born on SuperBowl Sunday

Aug 4 2007... Mailed in I-751 = $275 (remove conditions)

Sept 17 2007 Refiled to NSC

Sept 18 2007... Delivered by DHL to NSC

Oct 10 2007... Received at CSC
