We're gathering up the info needed to file the I-751 and have a question about these affadavit thingys.

I've read in a few posts that some couples haven't submitted notarized letters from friends so I'm wondering whether or not we need to bother. We have lots of proof of financial mingling -- my hubby and I just bought a house, have filed our taxes jointly since we got married, have a joint bank account, have joint credit cards and jointly own a car. Not to mention, he's listed as the sole beneficiary of my 401k should anything happen to me (he's a student so amusingly it's the immigrant supporting the USC in our relationship!). Thus I'm thinking that including some photos to beautify the whole package might be all the extra stuff we need.

All thoughts and advice gratefully received :) Cheers!

No you do not have to have them, there are other items a lot more important such as ur financial info. We included letters, we wrote them up for our friends and they of course read and signed them.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
