RFE - Birth certificate

S

Registered Users (C)
This is what i received today from USCIS -

"It appears that your birth was registered late. As such, submit the following documentation to verify your date and place of birth. Affidavits may be submitted in lieu of unavailable supporting documents such as birth, marriage,divorce, death, and other similar certificates. If affidavits are submitted, you must explain why the usual supporting documents are unavailable."

QUESTION -
What does this mean? Does it mean that I can submit my marriage certificate to support my date and place of birth? (I am neither dead nor divorced yet :))

I have lost my original birth certificate, and the only thing I have is a duplicate that I had submitted earlier to USCIS.

Has any one gone through similar experience?
 
It is a generic statement and that is why they mentioned all those...
You need to get 2 affidavits from your parents with your birth date and place etc. i can send you the format if you can give me ur mail id. iam cutting and pasting the affidavit from father...
