I believe the affidavits newly weds submit from their friends and family are just proving that marriage took place. You have marriage certificate for that. You don't need affidavits for that. This is what I submitted for my I-130

1. I-130

2. G-325 A (all 4 pages) for me.

3. G-325 A (all 4 pages) for my wife.

4. Copy of Marriage Certificate

5. Copy of US passport

6. Copy of Naturalization Certificate

7. Passport size photos of myself

8. Passport size photos of my wife.

9. Check of $355

I hope this is enough. If I get RFE for bona fide of marriage relationship, I am gonna shoot myself. As, I don't have anything but these stupid affidavits to provide, which again don't prove sh*t about "marriage relationship".

CS

You opted not to submit affidavit, and we opted to submit affidavits. And i don't think it harmed our case . Which not.

Peeps, I've been coming to VJ close to 6 months and have yet to see a post stating they received and RFE exclusively because of missing these affidavits.. nor due to affidavits being redundant in stating the fact that they got married. Bonafides of marriage I believe it to mean about your ongoing relationship, do you live together as a couple, did you socialize with others as a couple, etc...

I stayed with my husband over a month after marriage, we went on outings with friends and family and had friends over for dinner often. If I needed an affidavit after all, I'd ask some of these ppl to provide one stating how they met me and learned of our marriage and the outings we had together.

Shape your affidavits are nice, but what pushbrk is saying is that they simply say, that they saw you get married and nothing else. These certainly wont harm your case, but did they help it? Seems unlikely.

Loterly,

I dont know if Shape's affidavits helped or not. Neither do you and Shape.

The topic of this thread is the "content" of Shape's affidavits. No one is attacking Shape.

If you or Shape stops being emotional and read the entire thread again with an open mind, you'd realize, no one is attacking Shape personally.

I know Shape is popular and has many friends in the Philippine sub-forum. That does not mean she's infallible. Only God is infallible.

btw, I know this wont help but I'm not on K3. I'm on CR1. NVC schedules interview for CR1 (except China). The US embassies schedules interviews for K3. Apples and oranges. But if you're reading with open mind... you'd realize that too.

pushbrk, what is it that you dont understand on those words i higlighted for your eyes to read? shape clearly wrote OUR, WE, I HOPE THIS HELP YOU GUYS.

was this affidavit she nicely shared to others helped or not? neither do u know if it did or did not coz you were not the one who touched her documents she submitted to uscis right? but her documents which includes that specific affidavit were approved and she got herself an interview date right?

is her being nice to share her experiences here at stake? does it bother you when a nice person would like to share something that might be a "help" to others?

shape asked all of you to just post whatever you "think" that will "help" others.

THEN WHO ARE WE TO CONDEMN A PERSON WHOSE INTENTION IS TO HELP? IF YOU THINK HER POSTS DONT HELP YOU, THEN SUIT YOURSELF, WE THE READERS ARE BLESSED WITH WISDOM TO UNDERSTAND , EYES TO READ, EARS TO HEAR, AND PLS GIVE US THE LIBERTY TO USE THEM FOR OUR OWN GOOD AND BENEFITS AND NOT FOR YOU PER SE.

I think most people here understand Pushbrk. and realize Shape is not understanding Pushbrk.

I, like Shape, submitted sworn affidavits from friends and family. It is similar to what SHape submitted but not quite. First off, the affidavits I submitted were all from US citizens notarized by US notaries. Second, the affiants didnt "just say" they saw the wedding. They swore to the bona fides of the relationships and even pointed to proofs such as dated photos posted online.

On top of affidavits, we submitted other proofs of relationship such as a "joint" bank account and our names on leases. I honestly think these carried more weight than my affidavits. I was just giving them all I've got.

Having said that... Pushbrk is right. I dont think what Shape, posted is gonna be of help to anyone. You will get approved or denied with or without the foreigner's "relatives" saying... Oh yeah, I saw them get married."

tell me noel and tintin, how do you call that? oh yeah right noel, its not an attack, my apology, but it is called CHARACTER ASSASSINATION RIGHT? now how do u feel when im doing what u did to shape? do i make you proud? taking your reply word for word and not seeing the intention?

straight from you mouth noel, "you dont know" isn't it a contrary to what u wrote earlier? let me refresh your memoir... you wrote "i dont think what shape, posted is gonna be of help to anyone"

Loterly Richard, I absolutely agree with everything you have said!!!

I must add: We are here to discuss the VJ points/topics and not Shape's popularity which she deserves and which she gained due to her kind heart, intelligence, tact and wisdom!!!!!!! We come either to get or give advice and no to fight and compete in our knowledge. So, please be more tactfull, less emotional and envious. Thank you.

it doesnt sound like it is just an opinion, you stated a fact earlier, then restated that you dont know then now its just an opinion.

was it also an opinion when someone replied to a post that this "person" needs a psychiatrist more than a visa? it has nothing to do with this topic, but im just asking your opinion about this. is this a fact or an opinion?
