The person who writes an affidavit is an “affiant.” Affiants may be relatives of the applicant and do not have to be U.S. citizens. It’s very common for parents to write affidavits for the applicant. However, any individuals who were alive at the time of the applicant’s birth and were aware of the birth may act as the affiant. There is an important exception – the affiant may not be submitting an application for permanent resident at the same time. For example, the parents of an applicant may not act as affiants if they too are submitting Form I-485 to adjust their status.
