Proof of your NSEERS registration - for GC through AOS

andromeda2007

Registered Users (C)
US Citizen filing GC for parents through AOS while in US on VISITOR VISA.

I got RFE for I-765/I-131 for my father:
"We need proof of your NSEERS registration"
Google'd the term to find out that:
NSEERS - National Security Entry-Exit Registration System
More I read more scary it gets. Neither at Port of entry(POE) nor later he was ask to register, so don't know why they are asking for this registration proof.
My father was born in part of India which is now in Pakistan after partition in 1947. So his place of birth says Pakistan although he is Indian citizen since 1947. Also I-94 expires 11/15/08, so I need to do something ASAP.
Visitor Visa valid till 05/2009. Always entered US legally and left before I-94 validity expires(1999, 2000, 2003)

Any suggestions?

Send a notarised affidavit stating that the POE officer did not special register your father.

I think it goes by nationality. India is not in the list. So, you're ok. Just write back that your father is not required to enter NSEERS. Some officers go overboard. But when they look into further, they realize it was not required.

Also, I'm not sure if there is any age requirement or just blanket for all those countries.

And as TC said, notarized affidavit along with letter explaining should suffice.
 
Thanks folks. I plan to respond with a letter explaining the same with notarized affidavit AND copy of passport, copy of visa, copy of I-94 for my father (to prove his citizenship)
