I-130 and evidence of a bonafide marriage

[amy83 0]

Hello,

When submitting proof of a bonafide marriage (for th I-130) the guide states you can use affidavids from friends, family etc (who know of your ongoing relationship, and marriage). My question is : do these have to be notorized?? Or do they just write them up, sign them (and put in all their bio info)?

Thanks so much. This website has been awesome!

I had one letter from my mom here in the US and had it notorized. I had two letters from friends in Senegal and did not have them notorized.

All you need to do is for each of the persons to write the affidavit and just take it to their bank for it to be notarized and it will be just fine. That was exactly what i did and everything went fine at my interview.

I did mine as "Affidavit form" never had them notorized and it was fine. The big thing is proof of meeting in the 2 year timeline.... put some pics of the two of you as well as airline tickets and so on..

All I submitted as proof were 3 affidavits, I was approved no problem. My advice is DON'T overwhelm them with stuff and DO make your packet idiot proof.

Play it safe and notarize, some city halls charge $5 per page to Notarize (Brampton) and most lawyers charge about $30.

We had 3 letters - one from my husband's family, and two from his best friends.

It worked out for us without notarization
