North Wilkesboro, NC asked in Immigration Law for North Carolina

Q: What should an affidavit of support look like for form I-751?

My wife is currently a conditional permanent resident who immigrated here on the K-1 fiance visa (after filing form I-129F). We're coming up on the time to file form I-751 to remove the conditions on her permanent residency, for which we need to provide evidence reasonably proving that we've been living together since the issuing of her permanent residency card. It says one thing we can do is have people sign affidavits of support to state that they can attest to the legitimacy of our marriage. We don't know how to write the affidavits, though, so my question is: what should the affidavit say? Hopefully that's enough information. We can't really afford to hire an attorney.

EDIT: I forgot to add she immigrated here from Canada.

A: These affidavits should explain how that know you and your wife, the social actions that they have had with you and how they know you are a couple and are living together.
