Affidavits necessary for I751?

[mr and mrs 187]

I submitted as much as I could with my I-129F and didn't got an RFE. If I have a way to avoid any questioning from the USCIS I will do that.

that's fine, but that is your motivation, not because it is a requirement to remove conditions.

Yeah, affidavits are definitely not required and are considered a weak method of proof compared to tax returns, joint healthcare, etc. I submitted my I751 w/o affidavits, although I did ask people to write them and I'll probably send them in...also found some more insurance docs that I'm going to submit too. So I say go ahead and submit it and then you can always send in the letters later if you want to. Just make sure you have a evidence like tax docs, rental/mortgage agreements, health insurance, car docs, etc that show joint owning and cohabitation. I submitted joint tax filings, copies of our insurance cards, bank statements, pay stubs showing our joint address, fotos, a couple christmas cards addressed to the both of us.. not too much but the burden of proof is on them. If its a real marriage then there really isnt too much to worry about as long as you file properly and include the major forms of proof.... good luck!

i am not sure it is a good idea to send supporting documents to USCIS in 'batches'. you really need to submit the most complete package as possible. all at once. delay sending the package until you have strong and complete evidence to send. of course, be sure to file within the 90 day window. if they need further evidence, they will let you know (RFE). sending unrequested items later should be avoided.

Anybody who filed their I-751 with NO lawyer? I am about to file mine by the end of this month and I want to make sure how is the over all package of the documents look like. What particular folder should I organize my documents. I bought an A-Z label and can I use letters of alphabet in enumerating the contents of my documents in my cover letter?

1. Most people here file their I-751 without a lawyer's assistance. Follow the VJ Guides (links atop any VJ page).

2. The USCIS mailroom people arrange the contents of packages to their preferences. Binders, folders, and alphabetical dividers will be discarded. Use paper clips and binder clips as you deem necessary, and avoid using staples.

3. A cover letter is chiefly for your own use, to remind yourself what you enclosed. None is required. You can write, "Attached is the original I-751 for [name], A#_____. Sincerely, [name]."

See the great many threads here from people who wanted other eyes to check what they planned to send. Just scroll through the first few pages in this forum. That will give you an idea of what to include.
