Asked on Dec 25th, 2012 on Immigration - Florida
More details to this question:
I have the 2 years green card. We had problems so the marriage didn’t work out. It ended with the divorce and now I am going to file I-751 and my ex is helpful so far. I need an affidavit sample so she can sign it and affidavit sample (from friends) also. We don’t have anything (lease, bills) with our names and that's because, we were living at her parent’s house. Even my phone is not with my name. it’s on a family plan. Is that a bad thing or a good thing because it shows how we all were like a family? Thank you so much.

You may want to seek the advice of an attorney BEFORE you file anything. If the case gets denied you may wind up in removal proceedings at the immigration court.

You have a very tough case. I would recommend that you hire a lawyer to assist you.

The affidavit is constructed based upon the particular relationship. No two affidavits from former spouses should be the same. There are others who can also act as sworn witnesses. The process of preserving, selecting documentation, choosing the most appropriate witnesses, preparing sworn statements and filing a self petition is complicated. Many prefer to hire a competent and experienced immigration attorney.

You don't need to use a formal affidavit. A simple letter which includes the writer's contact information will suffice. I do strongly suggest that you have an attorney review your documentation prior to filing the I-751.

It is okay if you are divorce now. But you will need to show that your marriage at the beginning was a real one. The more evidence you can submit the better. If you have the money, you should retain an attorney to help you. This is an important life event to get your 10 year green card.
