Need help with affidavits

[Ailema 0]

Ok! so it's time to file the I-751 but we're unsure how to go about the affidavits. We're a young couple and being helped out a lot by my husband's parents and family - meaning we don't have any joint finances under both our names like leases or loans, besides a checking account - so we're relying pretty heavily on these.

I've seen some good samples online so I have an idea of what sort of format it should be in but does it need to be typed or handwritten and signed? Do we need the people writing the affidavits for us to actually be there to sign it in front of whoever notarizes the document? I'm not even sure where or who to go to, to get it notarized.. please help !

Hi Ailema,

If you look to the top of the page of this site, there is a button 'Example Forms'. There are all types of example forms there, including an example affidavit and an example cover sheet to go with your petition ~very helpful

My school has a notary but I think you should find one at your post office or police station, too? And the person who wrote the affidavit needs to sign it in front of the notary.

Also most banks (if you have an account there) have a notary and they do not charge anything - if you do not have an account - they may charge a few bucks - $5 or so (but check first).
