@F A you can only get an Attestation of birth and declaration of age. your siblings over 18 years parents or any of your relatives over 18 can help you get at the Lagos high court.

@ did you get your RFE, if you don’t mind, may I ask what was it for ? it been one and half months and I didn’t have any movement on my 485 ! Thanks 🙏🏻

@Dee Grace please how do I go about getting attestation of birth? Can I get that done at the court as well?
F AApr 11, 2024
@hope hope yes I got rfe for medicals and birth certificate
Dee GraceApr 11, 2024
yes you can get both of them at the lagos high court. they already know how it works at the court because a lot of people from here send their relatives to the court to get these documents. When everything is ready, you’d get 2 copies ( An attestation of birth and declaration of age). Both come in the same package.

@hope hope thank you, wish you same
Dee GraceApr 11, 2024
sure @F A They can tell you to expedite and you can get it in 1 week but that costs a little bit more. if you don’t expedite, it takes about 3-4 weeks.

Gettng Original Birth Certificate or ATTESTATION requires two different offices/Dept. 1st Officr at the Court to get A Sworn Affidavit for Age Declaration after that, your 2 Passport Photo and cope of the Affidavit for Age Declaration will be submitted at National Population Commission (NPC) Office at their State Secretariat where you will pay and apply for Agr Attestation. it will be process for like 2weeks except if expedited for like 3days or more

@Babajide Success thank you so much. I have contacted someone at their surulere office in Lagos. He will swing to action on Monday, he told me they have 5 working days and also 10 working days.

@Dee Grace @AUG2022 VAWA do I send both declaration of age and attestation of birth to uscis or just the attestation of birth
Dee GraceApr 18, 2024
@F A Only the attestation of birth should suffice. Let’s see @AUG2022 VAWA opinion on this too.
AUG22 GodHaveMercyApr 18, 2024
@F A Only the Attestation of Birth that serves as Birth Certificate and that is what you shld use everywhere. The Affidavit is no longer useful
F AApr 18, 2024
@Dee Grace @AUG 2022 thank you so much, I really do appreciate your help
Dee GraceApr 18, 2024
You’re welcome @F A Wishing you all the best

@F A I just got the same RFE for birth certificate. what did you end up sending for your birth certificate and was or accepted?
F ASep 5, 2024
@Jerry Jo in the letter they sent, there is a link there where you can check what’s acceptable for your home country. I am from Nigeria and what is acceptable is the birth certificate from National population commission. If your birth year is before 1991( or 1994, not sure) you will get attestation of birth.
Jerry JoSep 5, 2024
@F A thanks. I’m getting the attestarion of birth. I’m also wondering if it has to be original or a copy that is sent to UScis.
Jerry JoSep 5, 2024
does anyone know if uscis will accept a copy of the attestarion of birth or if I need to send in an original copy
F ASep 5, 2024
@Jerry Jo you don’t submit the original, just make a copy and send.

Hello, regarding those with birth certificate from NPC (birth year 1994) but registration was done 1998, do we need to provide any other document or that birth certificate suffices?
Thank you
