*We were once confused on how to fulfill this, since my husband's family in India did not know how to process the note mentioned. (The marriage of my husband's brother and other relatives' were completely taken care by church including the legal marriage, so we had zero experience before about this), then one of our friends in India helped us contacting notary in India and the following is the draft of statement letter, in case somebody needs it in the future (only as sample).
