My parents are elderly and dont have a marriage certificate (they married over 50 years ago). I am applying for their GC now and I need to send them a sample of an affidavit so they can get one prepared. Does anyone have that?

Thanks

Thanks Hi Asif
I submitted two affidavits from different people who witnessed my wedding and also ongoing marriage. You have to just little organized the document according to your parents requirement and asked them to get from their friends or relatives.I got it the basic text from www.visajourney.com

do they need the non-availability certificate first?

In such situation sometime it takes a long time in getting new marriage certificate. You have to submit affidavit then some other important documents also need to be submitted like photo and evidence, then within some time they will provide certificate...
