Affidavit of Bona Fide Marriage

[abaron4769 0]

I am putting together the packet to send in. I am at the Affidavits that family and friends have so thankfully provided for us. My question is do I send in copies of these? Or do I submit the originals.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Please make the copies for your record and send in the originals or have the relatives/friends sign multiple affidavits.

Just make copies and keep. I hope you are sending a lot more than letters? They aren't that good of evidence....anyone can write a letter so make sure you have plenty of solid evidence too.

Notorized, signed with their ID's.

yes I think I have MUCH more information then is needed, I am worried there might be too much and they'll just push it aside because it will be exhausting to read.

No need for notarized letters. I sent in two and I didn't get them notarized at all. I think when it comes to sending in the paperwork include as much as you got and don't think they will find it too exhausting. This is what they do. The way I see it is better to have included things than have regretted not including it. Good luck!

No I submitted the copy of the letter and kept the original. It worked out just fine for us. When I originally submitted ours I was worried that we didn't have much (and really we didn't). But I have read that some notarized their stuff but really it is up to you. Just make sure that when you send in your packet make a copy of the packet in the same manner that you are submitting it. I found that very helpful. Good luck to you guys!

Keep the originals of whatever you send in with the package later for the interview.

Notarizing the affidavits isn't necessary but it's recommended. So it's really up to you.

All the best

notarizing something does not make the contents true....it only verifies who signed a particular document....it is easy to get family members and friends to write any letter you want them to, and thus, such 'evidence' is merely fodder for the round file.
