Is your birth certificate in a different language? Also check if you filled the application with the name you have on the birth certificate.

Hey Hari, my birth certificate is split in two sections, left is in English and right side is in my native language. Name is same as my application.

waleed did u have ur interview?

No, I did not. I submitted my application three months ago and received RFE letter today in mail.

Its kind of similar to what I have. They might have missed the details. But I would suggest you to get a certified translation and send them asap because everything with USCIS takes forever to process.

Hari, thanks for your response. My birth certificate is actually translated and certified from my birth country government. Is it possible that the USCIS might have missed to see my birth certificate as I submitted all the forms together for change of my status i.e. i-130, i-485, i-765, i-864, i-944 & i-131

Its very likely. USCIS mistakes happen all the time based on the case load they have. But there is not much we can do except sending all the documents in a timely manner. I filed just like yours.

they are looking for the long form version

Taasre Kabr: And how can i get that?

there should be a version of your birth certificate that states your mother and fathers names,profession and everything. if it’s a foreign certificate check with the administration of your country of Birth

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html Search your country here and it will show you exactly what birth certificate USCIS wants from your country!

Taasre Kabr: that is exactly what i had from my country of birth. only difference was the certificate didn’t mention my parents profession. I called one of my friends who was in similar situation last year and is from same country. He submitted the birth certificate same as mine and didn’t have any issues!

S B R: it says page not found

Type “Visa Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country” into Google. It comes up then!

S B R: thanks, it worked. the issuing authority mentioned there is where i got my birth certificate from.

hey @waleed j I got a RFIE for my BC too . so I replied back with long format BC issued from the approved authority which is listed on the official UCSIS Website. printed that page attached with the BC. i also included secondary evidence that is acceptable for my country of birth family registration certificate, hospital birth certificate and affidavits from my parents confirming my birth and late registration of BC. This was accepted and I am now ready for interview. hope this helps

also even if its in two languages side by side i still got them all translated in english certified and notarised translations

they might have lost it too so if yu sure yu have the long form just resubmit it to see

Thanks guys, so this is what i am planning to do. Attaching following documents with RFE letter: Birth Certificate issued from county of birth, Birth Certificate translated in English certified and notarized, Family Registeration Certificate issued from county of birth notarized. that’s all the information i could gather regarding my birth certificate. I really hope they accept it!!

Cool. i would suggest to also print that official page which suggests the acceptable format of BC from your home country. my lawyer suggested that.

Haich: you mean the information available at “Visa Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country “ website?

yes that one

guys, i sent my response yesterday to USCIS. Now fingers crossed.

hopefully u will hear back from them soon we all waiting 😩
