VAWA, I-485, Request for Initial Evidence
Hi everyone , After my case showed transferred last month , just got RFE(initial evidence ) , they are basically saying they need another document relating to birth Certificate. You have submitted secondary evidence and/or a birth affidavit as proof of a birth record for the applicant. However, the evidence you have submitted is insufficient. Examples of acceptable secondary evidence may include, but is not limited to, church or school records listing your parents' names and your date of birth, hospital records of your birth, or other official records indicating a country and record of birth. If the document is in a language other than English, you must submit a copy of the foreign language document and a complete English translation. In addition to a birth affidavit or secondary evidence, Title 8 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 103.2(b)(2)(11) states: "Where a record does not exist, the applicant or petitioner must submit an original written statement on government letterhead establishing this from the relevant government or other authority. The statement must indicate the reason the record does not exist, and indicate whether similar records for the time and place are available." It must contain one of the following: • A legible seal • A l e g i b l e s t a m p • A signature with a title containing the words: secretary, registrar or births and deaths Information regarding the availability of birth records from an applicant's country of birth may be found in the U.S. Department of State's Foreign Affairs Manual. An indication in the Foreign Affairs Manual that birth certificates are generally unavailable will be considered acceptable evidence the applicant's birth certificate is not available. Anyone ever got this ?
