You are correct. Your relatives(Usually her parents and yours) and maybe the best man, or maid of honor who attended the wedding should write that you two married in good faith, and that they(both sides) warmly welcome you to the family and have it NOTORIZED. You can get it notorized at a bank, hell even Amscot will do it for I think $5.

Address them directly to USCIS, and bring it to the AOS interview. It helps big time!
 
I am sorry to ask this but can someone please post an example letter? Or may be wordings which can give an idea that what exactly needs to be written?
 
Rather than concocting a non-spontaneous notarized letter, just provide evidence of a shared life together, like normal married people do. I certainly didn't run around getting my best man to write a notarized letter saying I got married in good faith.

Well RC I did just as I said above, and I am a normal person. The IO looked at the two letters more then the pictures we had. Nobody said anything about "Running" around anywhere. Once again people shooting other people down because they simply don't agree. He asked, I told.

RC you didn't get your PR from Marriage to a USC, I did!

I'm not shooting it down. I'm just pointing out that 99.99999% of all married couples don't do this. They live together, share money and have other aspects of a shared life. That counts for far more than anything else.

So you do an immigration study of 99.99999% of AOS cases through USC? How do you know? are you personally there? I didn't know there was such a study.

This is not bad advice, if anything it will help the situation, the more evidence the merrier. I did't say not to include pictures/bills/ect.. I answered his question. FYI the IO personally said they were "Great Letters" from my AOS. We got our's from our parents, and the best man.

If you don't like the question or answer, simply don't answer it!

I got my GC through marriage...first the 2 year card and then the 10 year card. I received my 10 yr card last week.

From my experience, the letter is not needed. I didn't sent any letters and no one asked for one either. I figured it's a pain to get the letters from USC friends and get it notarized than to just provide all the other evidence. We gave them the lease, insurance , bank account and utility bills etc.

EDIT : Just to add to this, we didn't get married in a church, we just signed the license and send it to the county. We didn't have a proper marriage ceremony, so there were no marriage pics. We didn't own any property together and our cars were not jointly owned.

But we had the life insurance and the retirement plan beneficiary docs, health insurance together and a lot of similar legal docs and I think as far as the USCIS is concerned, that's the most important docs.
