After my N-400 interview, they gave me a piece of paper indicating that "Personal Affidavit stating the fact of your relationship..." - basically how I met, dated, married, etc with my wife." So, I drafted it and I would very appreciate if you guys can give me some comments.
To give you some background, during the interview, I passed all the test, and while we went through my application, the interviewer asked our current address, which was different than the address we indicated in the application. Then, she started asking a lot of questions about our marriage, relationship, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To whom it may concern,
This personal affidavit is to serve on behalf of myself, Jon Doe, and my wife, Marry Doe, as my written testimony to describe our relationship.
I met Marry through one of our mutual friend at the restaurant in the DC in the summer 2007. We started hanging out as a friend and started dating around in the late summer. At that time, I was a student at the University of State and Marry was working as a server at the restaurant located in DC and was living in State. I often went to see her after school and we spent time together such as going to restaurants, watching movies and hanging out with our friends.
Around summer 2008, we decided to get married and had a wedding at the Name restaurant located in City, State (please see photos included). Our friends as well as my parents were at the wedding and we had the great time. Since we were married, I always have been proud of Marry as she supported me when I was in school and decided to go back to school and graduated with high honors in May 2012. Since we got married, we have had many memorable events. We visited XXX and XXX together and many places in State and State with our friends. Also, Marry’s parents also visited several times for my graduation as well as her graduation. I included the photos we have taken.
Since last year, we occasionally discussed to visit her parents in Country and stay there for a few months. As Marry was about to graduate from college and our apartment leasing was coming to an end, in addition to my citizenship process, we thought it would be great to visit her parents once our lease is up and then come back to State to settle down. Unfortunately, my N-400 interview, which was scheduled at May, 2012, was delayed and was rescheduled at August, 2012. In the middle of July, Marry and I discussed that instead of getting a new apartment lease, she would go to Country first and I will go there once I’m done with my citizenship process. Therefore, we decided not to get a new place after our lease ended and I’m currently staying at my friend’s place. We have moved all of our addressed to that address. Once she left at the end of July, we have talked and texted every single day. I can attest that we have always stayed together since we got married, except her trip to her parents and my business trip.
If there are questions or concerns, please give me a call at xxx-xxx-xxxx anytime.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In summary, I married to my wife, US born, 4 years ago and had lived together until the end of July - never separate and never will - as our apartment lease was ended. Since last year, my wife and I always discussed to live at her parents place in her country and we agreed that this timing is perfect given that she just graduated from college and I've been planning to go back to grad school next year. We really didn't think it was going to be an issue as we've had all the documents, filed tax for the last 4 years and actually loved each other.
Also, do you think it would be good to include pictures as well? I've indicated in the writing, but am not sure. Also, do you think it would be necessary for my wife to write a letter as well?
At the end of the interview, I signed on a few documents and don't know exactly what it was. She mentioned that I will receive a letter whether I am approved or not based on the documents I provided. Is there something I should be worrying about?
I'm in panic now and don't think my writing is that coherent...Please let me know if you need some clarification.
Thanks,
