Hi,
I recently filed concurrently I-130/I-1485 for my mother and I received Request for Initial Evidence for I-485 application for the following items.
1. Submit a copy of the birth certificate for the petitioner listed on form 1-130. The birth certificate must provide the parent names in order to properly establish the relationship between yourself and petitioner. If the is in a language other than English you must submit a copy of the foreign language document and an English translation.
2. Submit a copy of your birth certificated issued by appropriate civil authority. You must submit a copy of foreign language birth certificate and a full and complete English translation if the birth certificate is not in English.
Here is some information what we filled with application.
For the 1.
I only attached the copy my birth certificate/Affidavit in I-130 only. I did not include my birth certificate with I485. Also I am from pondicherry/India. My birth certificate has the names spelled in French spelling.
Do I need to translate the names which are written using French spelling ?
For the 2.
We didn’t have birth certificate for my mother. So we attached the following documents in I 485.
Birth certificate issued by Indian Embassy , Washington DC.
Affidavit from my mother’s uncle.
Do I need Non–Availability of the Birth Certificate.
If anyone faced the similar issue. Or Any pointers to what USCIS want for the RIE would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
