AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF DEFERRED ACTION APPLICATION OF
Raulin Fakename


My name is John Doe, I live at FULL ADDRESS, I was born on DATE OF BIRTH, and I have known Raulin Fakename since 1995. I came to be acquainted with Raulin Fakename
through one of his cousins. Since we met in 1995 we have been the closest of friends. He visits my house on a regular basis to socialize or for special occasions. In 2006 we started playing together in the same softball ball team name the Brooklyn Stars. We use to play twice a week(Thursday and Sunday) throughout the summer. We played for the same team up to 2010, which was when he quit to start taking salsa dancing lessons. We also use to Dj together from the year 2004 to 2010. We use to DJ around 4 parties per month. He also stopped DJing once he started taking salsa lesson which was taking most of his time. We still see each other often, but mostly when he visits my house. Since we met we I can swear to the fact that during this time it would not have been possible for Raulin Fakename
to have been absent from the US because of the frequency of our seeing each other in person and our contact by phone and Facebook. If you have any further questions please contact me at TEL#.


OATH: I declare under penalty of perjury that all statements made in this supporting document are true and correct.

See the grammatical error I underlined. The affidavit can be much more professional including not making him seem like a quitter.

so let me get this straight - you are a dreamer and so is your friend? Lot of lawyers have been requesting affidavits be from individuals who are PR or USC.

He is a resident. I guess i should include that in the affidavit. I will try to word it better. Thanks for your help.

Is the manner in which is done correctly though?

I'm gonna have three people do me a affidavit, is it ok to use the same top template for all of them? Or should i just make em do it how ever they want it? THey don't really know how to make a affidavit.

Couple of things that could be double checked are bolded and I do agree that it could be written differently in a more professional manner. I just proof read what you wrote as asked.

Alien number. That one that OP put is fake.



OP, try declaring the credibility of your friend as a PR or USC.
