@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?

@hope hope yes I got rfe for medicals and birth certificate

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.

@F A ;thanks . Good luck for rest of things.🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you so much @Dee Grace I will send someone to ikeja high court tomorrow, hopefully they are able to get it done ASAP

@hope hope thank you, wish you same

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

@F A Only the attestation of birth should suffice. Let’s see @AUG2022 VAWA opinion on this too.

@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

@Dee Grace @AUG 2022 thank you so much, I really do appreciate your help

You’re welcome @F A Wishing you all the best

@Dee Grace thank you

@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?

@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.

@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.

does anyone know if uscis will accept a copy of the attestarion of birth or if I need to send in an original copy

@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
