Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties

[XXoverwhelmedXX 1]

Ok,

So i'm having my sister and brother write me affidavits to include with my I-130 package....

can someone please tell me do they need to swear in front of a judge or a lawyer or what? I don't know where to go for that

Can't they just write them, sign them, and send them with the application??

Notarised is the most you need.

Notarized... walk into any bank (Wells Fargo, BoA, etc.) and they'll notarize it for you for free.

Doesn't even have to be notarized. I simple statement affirming the affidavit at the end is all that is all that is required. I wouldn't use family members, however. Common friends, or reputable members of the community would be better. Affidavits don't have much weight, however.

So who will affirm it? How and where do I affirm it?

The person testifying in the affidavit signs it, after adding the sentence at the end:

"I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date)

We used friends and colleagues I think. They just signed their names on the multiple copies of their documents and we were good to go.
