Question about Affidavits

[spratik 0]

Hi all,

I am trying to gather all documents to file I-751 for my wife. Her green Card expiration date is 09/12/2007.

1. Please some tell me if I am not really late on process. I am just worried if I don’t get extension before expiration date.

2. for Affidavits supports letter,

Can I just use my brother and brother-in-law's letter? OR Do I need someone other then family member?

Do I just notarize the letter or something else to make it affidavit?

Thanks in advance,

Pratik

Pratik,

Affidavits are a last-ditch effort at providing something for people who have nothing at all to offer in the way of evidence of the marital relationship.

So, what have you got that's really useful?

affidavits are a not a necessity, they are just a suggestion and are good for people who might not have a lot of other evidence....

You're not late yet. You're allowed to file any time within the 90 days preceeding the expiration date, with no penalties or explanation needed as long as you file sometime during that window. It looks like the window opened about 6/14/2007, so you're a little more than a month inside the window now. The window will close on 9/12/2007. Most people recommend filing as early as practical inside the window, just to allow time for the mail system, to allow time to get the NOA, and to allow for any unforseen delays.

It'll normally take a few weeks after you file to get the NOA. If you file on time and the NOA arrives after the green card expires, it doesn't mean you're out of status, but it does leave you with no way to PROVE your status. This could be a problem if you needed to travel internationally. So it's good to file at least a month before the GC expiration date, the sooner the better.

So don't wait much longer. I'd recommend gathering the package together very soon, probably this weekend. But don't panic about being late.
