We had filed I 485 in family based ( f3) category for my wife who father is US citizen, as we have filed on Dec 4th, 2019, and we did the finger printing on January 28th, 2020.
The RFE is about my wife birth certificate, they need copy of the birth certificate, issued by civil authority and a long form, with atleast one name of the parent and in english.
We did submitted the birth certificate in the beginning, when the original petition was filed and only issue we have her name is not mention in the birth certificate,
In Gujarat in the name is given 2 months after the birth.
The RFE is about the submitting birth certificate but they have not mention any thing about the name on the birth certificate
The original petitioner is my father in law and asking for my wife birth certificate, i am just assuming, what if they ask the name on the birth certificate.
Her name was kept after the birth certificate was made, so that why there is no name on the birth certificate and we cannot get another record since its 35 years old,
As a secondary evidence, we have her school leaving certificate, which has her date of birth, her name as well fathers name or else we also have PAN card as back up
birth certificate, has her father’s, mother’s name and date of birth and its been in English from government of Gujarat… We cannot produce another birth certificate since its 35 years old…
As a secondary evidence, we have school leaving certificate, which has her name, father’s name and date of birth…or can we submit pan card.
My attorney will be preparing the documents my next week. We just recieved the RFE that they need the birth certificate, or primary birth record issued by appropriate authority and USCIS accepts only long form birth certificate and least one parent name
We canot get any new birth certificate, since its india is locked down and its very difficult to get. The RFE we received, hasn’t t asked for the name, they just want her birth certificate to be submited and new I 864 affidavit, with the current tax papers.
I have been working with my attorney from last 10 years and helped me a lot for H1B RFE in the past. The fees they have charge is reasonable
I am asking because you have helped me lot in the past for my H1B and just trying to get different opinion. I am just doing the research from my my sake. I will do my best, otherwise going back to India is not a bad option…
I have already given the answer to the best of my knowledge.
You are just questioning based on what your attorney did. That’s why i am asking you to just contact the attorney and discuss your case.
I can only suggest limited options as I don’t know your case details which your attorney does. You are asking questions assuming that i am your attorney.
As per my last discussion, and as per attorney advise we have submitted my wife birth certificate which has no name, but we have sent 3 affidavit from her parents and uncle who were present at the time of her birth.
since in my wife birth certificate her name is not mention, so we have submitted it along with 2 affidavit from her parents and one from her uncle who were present at the time of her birth…
I’m on the same boat, we have asked MRO to revised the certificate by adding my name, but they saying it is not allowed as we applied certificate 4 years ago and have not corrected the name within then. Did the affidavit help?
Thanks for reply, It helps a lot, what is the format for affidavit attested From any government authorised official is fine or I need to get signature from lawyer
I had submitted my birth certificate (country India) which had my name and fathers name incorrectly mentioned. I also submitted a self declared notarized affidavit justifying the incorrect names.
I received rfe for the same. I am trying to get names corrected from local municaplity (surat municipal corp) but not certain if i would be able to get it done in time.
As alternative, can I submit only the two notarized affidavits by parents/relatives? Please advise
