birth certificate
Hi everyone ,
For the I-485 birth certificate requirement, do I need to submit the original birth certificate copy together with the English translation, or is the certified English translation alone enough?

Do not submit the original. whatever you submit to USCIS becomes their property. The English translation is what you need to give to them.

You can submit the copy together with the certified English translation.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
