I-751 Sworn Affidavits...

[antda 13]

Hi MarilynP, Speaking_Softly, James,

Thanks for your replies, comments, and suggestions. Sorry that this message thread caused a disagreement between all of you. I started this message thread wondering if anyone else out there encountered a similar dilemma, not to cause more problems. No need for arguing and disagreeing, really. Either way, for those of you who got approved, I'm glad that it worked out well for you, and for those of you who are still waiting, I hope that you do get approved soon. Each immigration situation is different, so in the end, there is no one right or wrong way in terms of dealing with immigration.

As for my situation, I wish that I could have another affidavit, but I've exhaused all options in terms of getting another affidavit, and as I said before, I can't find another person to sign and swear to such. Hence, I have no other choice and can only submit the one affidavit that I already have and take a gamble with that. I just hope that with the evidence and paperwork that I have, I'll be approved without any problems....

Marilyn's case and my own had strong factual evidence without affidavits and both were approved. Yours supposedly had affidavits and is still pending. I filed at the same location as you yet mine was approved faster. Nuff said.

Oh I see. First it was because I have complained on VJ. Now it's because I included affidavits that I haven't been approved yet? You, sir, are unbelievable. Your continued judgements are a slap in the face to many good people who are waiting for over a year to be approved.

To the OP: I am in the camp that believes that an affidavit is a fair piece of evidence to include. I personally wouldn't worry that you only have one. Together with the rest of the evidence you have listed, it looks like a nice well-rounded package. Best wishes to you as you submit it!

Hi Cassie,

Thanks for your reply and your well wishes. I agree, that an affidavit is fair to include, as after all, why would they request for it if they didn't want it? Lol...I guess submitting one is better than submitting none at all, so at this point I won't worry about that much either, as I can only submit what I have.

Now all I have to do is sit and wait until August (sigh, I wish I could submit it earlier), while the paperwork sits on my desk collecting dust for now (next to the empty boxes of chocolate Canadian Smarties...lol...).

Ant,

OF COURSE it's helps your case to include affidavits. I think everybody missed the sarcasm in my post directed at James.

I still say your case is as good as approved. You're hitting them with a tidal wave of hard, factual evidence that would make the affidavits look like nothing more than a tiny ripple. 50-100 pages is impressive and overwhelming.

And I reiterate, while affidavits can only help one's case, flaming immigration officials NEVER does and can only hurt it.

Good luck to you and especially Cassie. I know you've been waiting a long time and I do empathize, regardless of whether you believe it or not.

Hi Speaking_softly,

I agree, it does help to include affidavits in the I-751, as like I said before, “why would they request for it if they didn’t want it”. So I guess it was better for me to submit one, than none at all.

Yes, I am “hitting them with a tidal wave of evidence”, as I figure that it’s better to have more evidence than not enough at all. 50-100 pages do seem like a lot, but I’m pretty much giving them all that I have, so they don’t miss anything. It’s funny though; the affidavit is in one of the last pages in that pile of evidence that I have, so hopefully they won’t miss that “tiny ripple” in the pile and that they will consider the affidavit as part of the evidence.

Good luck with yours and everyone else’s I-751 and other immigration journeys. May it be a good one, with not to much waiting involved, and in the end will result in success.
