Hello,

Is it ok to send copies (not originals) of the affidavit used for proof of a bona fide marriage with the I-130? Just wondering if I should hang on to the original in case I need it later (I have only one copy of the original)...

Thanks for your help.

Neena :)

Neena,

When you say "affidavit", what exactly are you refering to? I would think you can send a copy of your marriage certificate as proof; but since the forms changed I am at a loss....

I'm referring to the the 3rd party sworn affidavits that are used as evidence of a bona fide marriage (it's listed in the I-130 Instructions).

Why don't you send the originals and keep copies for your records. That's what we did.

Hi,

If your case is for India, I think you should send the copy of it, make a copy of the original... notarise it by a attorney if your in US or by an advocate if you are in India.

We sent the notarise copy of the affadavit or IR/CR case for India.

I hope this helps you out Neena

Happy Diwali
