Question about children as "evidence" of marriage

[MaryQ 1]

Update-- sorry I just realized that I think I put this in the wrong section and I don't know how to delete it

Hi everyone,

Hubby and I are in the process of filling out our I-751. Based on what I hear from others and what I see in the form instructions, it seems that the presence of children is a very helpful proof of the marriage commitment. Well DH and I have been unable to have children so far due to infertility problems. So here's my question: do you think it would be worthwhile to have an affidavit from our doctor who is overseeing our fertility treatments (as a proof that we have been trying for quite a while to have children together)? Or is that just going to be weird or overkill?

On slightly related note, in general who is best to use for those two affidavits anyway?

Thanks in advance for your thought!

Children aren't a requirement, and I think personal doctor's notes is overdoing it at this stage.

I agree with Harpa. Many couples do not have children together. Their marriages are no less real or committed than those that do. I do not think your doctor's affidavit is necessary at all.

Many children come from one night stands are are not proof of anything other than fertility.

Affidavits are not a requirement, just a suggestion in a long list of possible types of evidence. Better evidence shows co-mingling the finances, household property, and legal responsibilities.
