Can one of the people submitting a sworn affidavits be a family member? or to be exact, can it be my husband's sister? (I'm the one that is non us citizen)

Thanks

It can anybody you want as long as the person has known both of you since the non-citizen spouse acquired conditional residence.

I have an additional questions.

Do I need to notarize the Sworn Affidavits or not? Some people are saying we need to and some are saying that we don't need to notarize the letters. When I call USCIS, they said that it is not necessary. Can someone help? Is it really required to get the letters notarized?

Generally, yes. A sworn affidavit contemplates notarization. Look at the example affidavit in the Example Forms section here.

However, federal law (28 U.S.C. § 1746) does provide that where a matter requires a sworn affidavit, that matter may, "with like force and affect," be supported by the following unsworn declaration of the person at the end of the affidavit:

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date).

(Signature)

This will work if notarization is inconvenient.

I would not rely on anything I am told by calling the USCIS misinformation line.

Notarization is not a must. But it definitely looks more professional. So I would notarize the statement.

We were RFE'd, so we sent two affidavits in response--one notarized and one not notarized. I would notarize them if I could; it does add more weight to them, since the affiant may be legally responsible for the veracity of his or her statements in the Affidavit. But nothing is set in stone--that's why you are seeing such a wide array of responses to your question.
