Rfe 485

[bigbang2001]

I am at NSC.

My lawyer informed today that RFE is received. It has following items:

1. Need for I-797. All of these were filed, don't know why they are asking.

2. Need for Employer letter. Again this was sent last year. May be because of time lag.

3. Birth certificate.
This is what troubles me a bit. I had attached a birth certificate from Registrar of Birth and Death. The registration date was recent since birth was never registered. I got this translated from Hindi to English.

I have been asked to provide a birth certificate from local registrar. I don't know what to do with this since this is what I submitted when filing 485. The certificate has seal of sub registrar in hindi. I can not get the seal translated in hindi.

I do have an affidavit signed by my mother stating that birth was not registered at the time of birth.

Please tell me if anyone has a similar experience and any remedies.

Thanks,

1. Maybe they misplaced it. Send it.

2. They want to see, if you are still employed with the same employer and the offer is still open. Send it.

3. Recent registration date on birth certificate is not acceptable -

"In cases where the birth certificate record is unavailable from the authorities, then a sworn affidavit by either of the parents is required. In parents are no longer alive, then any close relative (like uncle, or a close family friend) older than the applicant may provide such affidavit. This affidavit must be accompanied with a certificate of Non availability or No record of the birth certificate from the concern distt. office/government authority.

If the affidavit is provided by the relative, it must state the relationship with the applicant, how well the person/deponent knows the applicant, date and place of the applicant's birth, names of both the parents, and any other related facts."
