send stuff later after packets have been filedHi, we are going to send out the I-130 and I-485 packages together on Monday to USCIS, but we still have not got affidavit letters from our supports, can we send the packages first then the letters later on? If so, how to do that?
Are you referring to I-864 Affidavit of Support, or affidavits written by people in support of your relationship?
If its the I-864, you must send it with the I-485. But if youre talking about the relationship support letters, dont send those with the application. Bring them the interview, and only show them if you need to.
Jake, I refer to the affidavit letters support from our friend and family to support our marriage not I-864... so you are saying we dont even need to send those letters at all later on? I just think it would help the petition, no?
Those letters dont help much; USCIS does not easily believe them. They are last resorts to be used in the interview only if the other documents are insufficient. Dont send them with the application.
They prefer evidence which is harder to fabricate and easier to verify, like utility bills, insurance documents, bank statements, etc.
