Lifting Conditions-Letters from Friends

[Dogderf]

Greetings all:

In preparing to file the I-751, regarding the "Letters from Friends" requirement - I didn't notice anywhere in the verbiage that would eliminate having those letters written by a relative (daughter, sister, etc.) - or did I miss that part? What's the ruling on that?

Thanks-

Fred

Can be relatives, but recommended to be third party rather than a person that is very close to your relationship, this lends a degree of objectivity.

 

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.
