Hi PunjabDaPuttar and BM13,

I received the same RFE for my parents even though I had submitted 2 affidavits each from 2 of their relatives alongwith the original application. We ended up getting the non-availability letter from India. There is a website that may be of help to you www.yourmaninindia.com. We could not use it because my parents were born in Pakistan just before partition and then moved to India shortly after partition. This website will only work with people that were born in India.

Also, we went to the Indian consulate and they gave us a birth certificate as per the passport entry. I would recommend getting that while trying to work on the non-availability letter.

Thanks.

Hi PunjabDaPutar;

As you know that I have received the RFE for my parents for Birth Certificate. Now the confussion part is that in notice they have mentioned that "If the birth certificate is not available, per Titel 8 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 103.2(b)(2)(ii), you must submit "an original written statement on gov. letterheaed establishing this from the relevant gov. or other authority".

So, based on the notice they are requesting for the Original statment.

Please let me know what should I do, since this is RFE.

1. Can I submit copy of "No birth Record Certificate" ?
2. Can I submit copy of "Birth Certificate Affidavit" ?

Do you mind to send me your contact info. at: MannyShah13@Gmail.com ?

Thanks;

Here is the timeline for my mom's application:
3/01/08: I-130/I-485
3/09/08: Checks cashed
3/10/08: RD all
3/20/08: Received FP notice (4/02)
3/24/08: LUD and see I-130
3/29/08: RFE I-485 for original non-availability of Birth cert.

BM13, I guess you did send out the original non-availability of Birth cert?
Please let me know, is there anything else to be sent again?
 
NaDodi

Hi NaDodi;

I have sent the the following color copies with Original Notice on 3/31/08.

* Copy of "non-availability of Birth cert."
* Copy of "Birth Affidavit" - from two older relatives (atleast 10 years old)
* Copy of "School Leaving Certificate"

I am still trying to get the non-availability of Birth cert. for my mom.

Let's see if they will ask for the original ?

We got the RFE in late November. It took us 2 months to reply and they got the reply by Jan 31st. Have not heard back anything on the RFE as yet but we have an interview scheduled for this Friday. Wish us luck.

Thanks.

Good luck! I had another question, the address where I am supposed to send it is a PO Box address in MO and so I cannot send the package using FedEx/UPS to track. How did u send it? Did u also send it to a PO Box address? Can anyone who has replied to RFEs, please give some input?
Thanks.
 
REF address:

Dept. of Homeland Security, PO Box 648006, Lee's Summit, MO 64064.

I have send the REF at the following address by Priority Mail (USPS).
 
That's the same address where I will also be sending my RFE reply to. Since I am sending the original, I wanted to track it, but that's not possible I guess. How did you verify your package was delivered - USPS with tracking?
Thanks.
 
You can track the Priorty Mail

Hi;

You can send the originals and able to track the Priority Mail. They will give you the tracking #, so you can track the package.

That was fast! How long did the I-130 approval take? Was the RFE for birth certificate - non avilability certificate?
Thanks for the info.
 
I-130 were filed last year

We had filed I-130 last year in June and were approved in Jan this year.

RFE is for Birth Certificate. Same thing as posted by BM13 in the thread.
 
So glad that I found this thread! I am going to take Oath on April 10th, and thinking about apply for GC for my parents.
They got here on Mar 11th.

I have a couple of questions for the gurus here:

1. some advices about apply for the parents after 60days of their arriving here for some 30-60 days rule, just wondering if that’s very important?

2. Will my parents’ B visa be devalued as soon as I apply for them with i-485 pending?

3.Where should I sent the applications if I want to file i-130, i-485 for them concurrently?

I have been reading conflicting info on USCIS site.
News release said” As of April 30, 2008, all stand-alone Form I-130s submitted to any location other than the Chicago Lockbox will be rejected.” Is that only for apply i-130 alone? is it better to apply i-130 alone first?

On the original form it said to sent to
USCIS Vermont Service Center
75 Lower Welden Street
St. Albans, VT 05479-0001

Thanks a lot in advance!:confused:

Get them here and then file it

Filing 130-485 at chicago lockbox is much faster.

I do not believe in 30/60/90 day rule. Law allows parents/spouses of citizens to adjust status even if they have been unlawful residents without any penalty.

I filed I-130 last year and it took 7 months to get approved. My parents already had plans to be here. So after they came here, I filed 485.

FP is already done!

I-130

How long does it take for NVC to give the case number to an approved I-130 CP for parents?
Also how long does NVC take to complete the processing and send the case to Chennai consulate?

Thank you

Fingure Prints again for Father

Hi;

I just received the Notice of Fingure Prints again for my father for I-485 only.

"The FBI was unable to process your fingureprint card. In order for the USCIS to continue processing your application, it will be necessary to have your fingureprints re-taken."

The only diff. I can see in this notice that this only for I-485 not for I-765.

Thanks;

BM13
