Case Processing
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 ?
How can 70% of cases be processed , but NONE of my bucket?!
Can someone clarify Lawfully’s case processing trends chart for me?
I filed my I-129F in May 2024. The “case processing trend” shows that 70% of cases for my month have already been processed. However, when I check similar cases filed on the same date as mine, none of the 15 cases have been processed.
Isn’t this contradictory? Which data should I trust?
Case approved
I got my cases approved respectively on October 10 and October 11. How long does it take to get the card in hand? Because since the approval, I didn’t get any notice about the card production. Thank you everyone and good luck!
