# Immigration Support Letter Drafts first-person support letters as testimonial evidence in U.S. immigration matters. Letters establish writer credibility, corroborate specific facts, and close with a penalty-of-perjury declaration. ## Quick Start Gather before drafting: 1. **Writer identity** — full legal name, title/relationship, address, phone, email 2. **Immigration benefit** — family petition, employment-based, asylum, hardship waiver, removal defense, naturalization 3. **Applicant** — full name, A-Number (if known), country of origin 4. **Key facts** — dates, locations, observations, employment details, or hardship circumstances 5. **Recipient** — USCIS office, immigration court, consular post, or "To Whom It May Concern" If any of these are missing, ask before drafting. ## Letter Structure ### Header - Writer's name, title, organization (if applicable), address, contact info - Date - Addressee - Re: [Applicant Name] / [Petition Type] / [A-Number] ### Opening - Writer identity, relationship to applicant, letter purpose — one paragraph - Basis of knowledge (years known, capacity) ### Body by Letter Type | Type | Required Specifics | |---|---| | **Employment verification** | Title, start/end dates, duties, salary, performance, future intent | | **Family relationship** | How writer knows both parties, duration, shared experiences, details only a genuine witness would know | | **Character reference** | Concrete anecdotes of moral character, community ties, contributions — no vague praise | | **Extreme hardship** | Specific medical, financial, educational hardships from denial/removal; tie each to applicant or qualifying relative | | **Asylum corroboration** | Dates, locations, incidents witnessed; basis for fear; country conditions known to writer | > **Specificity rule**: Adjudicators weigh specific dates, locations, and named incidents over general praise. Every claim must be grounded in the writer's personal knowledge. ### Closing - Statement of support - Offer to provide additional information or appear - Perjury declaration (required): *"I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief."* - Signature block: printed name, title, date, space for wet signature ## Pitfalls and Checks - **Personal knowledge only** — flag any claim the writer cannot personally attest to - **No exaggeration** — false statements constitute immigration fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1001, INA § 274C) - **Notarization** — not required but recommended for employment and character letters; flag the option - **Letterhead** — use for employer/organizational letters; individuals use block format - **Length** — 1–3 pages; detailed enough to matter, short enough to hold attention - **Jurisdiction** — U.S. federal (USCIS, EOIR, DOS); tailor salutation to the adjudicating body
