affadavits from family members

[Cathi 5,748]

Does anyone know where I can find example letters for affidavits from family members? My husbands family will be writing letters to be notarized on our behalf and we honestly don't know how they should be worded.

Thanks in advance

What do you need these affidavits for? I had affidavits made up and sent with the I-130, but I noticed that you are already approved and just have your interview remaining. At this point, in my opinion, if you have pictures with your family together with your husband may be better evidence of a bona-fide for your interview. If you don't have pictures, in my opinion, would make the affidavits suspect since to have personal knowledge of the relationship I make the jump that they should have all met and spent a little bit of time together (and hopefully some pictures). Therefore if it were me, I would just load up on pictures at this point (assuming you do not have a religious reason for not taking pictures).

That being said I have a template that I used as well if you want I can e-mail it to you.

I never said I did not have any pictures. Where are you getting ideas that my husband and I haven't spent any time together? Are you serious? I asked for them because I want them. I have spent more than 3 of the past 7 months with him. I didn't ask for opinions.

I re-read my post and I never said you did not have pictures or spend any time together with your husband either so not sure how your are jumping to those conclusions. Let's review the facts of the post.

1. You already have your I-130 approved where the affidavits are requested (at least from my understanding) so in order to help others knowing how you plan to use them could be helpful or perhaps there is a part of the process that I may be missing as well

2. I made a statement that pictures of your husband with your family would be better than affidavits (even know not sure if your family has met him in order to have that personal knowledge you would be asking them to sign an affidavit for as you only talk about your time with your husband and not your family)

3. I made a statement that affidavits without these pictures could be perceived as suspect, which in turn would give the exact opposite intended affect you were looking for. I apologize for trying to give advice on a board meant to help give support and advice through this visa process.

4. I made a statement as I do not know your religious beliefs, as some don't allow their pictures to be taken, and since I do not know your religous situation I didn't know if that prevented you from having pictures with your family and husband together (there may be very good and valid reasons not to have pictures such as religion or in a case that I know where they were destroyed in a house fire).

This is a board where people in the same situation are trying to help each other and give each other opinions and share experiences. I suggest not posting on boards such as this if you are not expecting that. I do not see how I was offensive or vulgar but I apologize if my post was taken in that light and trying to get an understanding in case I was missing something.

I was not asking for advice. I was asking for one thing in particular. And don't "suggest" for me to not post on boards here, If I have a question, if I have a million and one questions, I'll ask what I want, when I want. And who said you were offensive or vulgar? Don't be paranoid. how would I ever get pictures of my husband with MY family if he is 6000 miles away and he has never been to the US? I'm thinking that once he gets his visa and can actually enter the US it would be more feasible, dontcha think? Not sure why you brought up pics if I'm asking about something totally different.

Now if anyone else can help me out with my original question about affidavits, I would appreciate any input...thank you

These are geared towards ROC but should still be able to give you an idea of how they should be worded:
