You should fire your lawyer.....

 

Affidavits are not a red flag, they act as supporting documents to your petition; I included 2 with mine, did not get an RFE, did not get an interview and got approved in under 12mths for my i751. :) 

Also, you can only really send what you have and if you think that the amount of evidence is sufficient, then send it off.....good luck :thumbs:

Our lawyer felt that we had enough evidence and therefore said we didn't need to bother with affidavit letters. I don't think they are a red flag if provided in conjunction with other evidence. If they are the meat of your evidence then it might raise concerns. Include a couple if you want but if you feel your other evidence is strong go with that.

😂😂🤣 dismiss your lawyer.  Send off as many evidence as you want.

In my opinion, affidavits are not needed unless you don't have quality evidence.  I think the attorney meant that they are extremely weak pieces of evidence as compared to other documents. There is no reason to fire an attorney for that, imo.

I sent 3 affidavits as support documents.

My understanding is that it won't hurt to send affidavits, but it's also Ok not to send any.

I sent an affidavit as I didnt have other supporting docs (mortgage/bills under parents name), no kids, both students; also submitted travel docs for a few trips.  But still got an RFE, fortunately we were blessed with our firstborn and upon submission of those docs (birth cert, ss #, pics, etc) was approved.

 

In summary, doesnt hurt to send in, but it may not be the weightiest piece of info they consider.
