RFE for BC
- Thread starter GKNair
- Start date
I got following RFE
Submit any secondary evidence in your possession to support the information you have provided about your birth and parentage. Secondary evidence will be evaluated for authenticity and credibility. Such evidence may take the form of historical evidence and must have been issued contemporaneously with the event which it documents. Such evidence may include, but is not limited to, medical records, school records, and religious documents. Affidavits may also be accepted provided that they are sworn to by persons who were born at the time of and who have personal knowledge of the event to which to which they attest. Any affidavits must contain the affiant’s full name and address, date and place of birth, relationship to the party on whose behalf they are attesting, if any, and complete details concerning how the affiant acquired knowledge of the event.
Can anybody give their input about the documents required to fulfill the RFE

Hi Kiddy,
There are number of thread on this subject of RFE on BC. Please refer to that.
I had exactly (99%) same RFE. And I prepared the list of documents with the help of this forum only. My lawyer was of no help. So, refer back to the earlier threads. If you don't find it, I can give you a list of docs, I am going to submit soon on my RFE.

Kiddy,
I submitted affidavits from my mother and my father when I filed for I-485. But they wanted older document to prove the parentage. So, I had to prepare other documents.
So, to answer your questions,
1. I don't think i will be submitting that again as I already submitted them.
2. Two affidavits of BC, one from my mother and one from my father.
3. I think my lawyer send me the format. But I read similar format on this forum couple of days back. I hope you will find that here too.
Hope this helps.

Hi GKNair,
I am expecting the same RFE for me. I have one question for you - what is the date for "Date of Registration of Birth" on your Birth Certificate (note - I am not talking about "Date of Issue" of the Birth Certificate). Do you have the "Date of Registration of Birth" information on your birth certificate and if so, what is that date (is it near your birth date or is it in 2000??)
Thanks,
SK...

Going thru the threads I found following Info.
1) Affidavits from her Father and Mother
2) School Bonafide certificate with DOB and father's name
3) 10th Marks certificate with DOB and father's name
4) Inter marks certificates with DOB and father's name
5) Conduct Certificate with DOB and father's name
6) Passport with father's and mother's name
When you said other documents, are you reffering to 2 onwards?
Thanks.

hi sk2002sk,
it is 1999 , not near to my birth date. Will it cause any problem at all?
also I have the affidavits from my mom and dad with me in the case of an RFE.
As kiddy said, we ca send the other documents too as additional documents.

GKNair, Hi,
If my understanding of the issue is correct, you have got an RFE not because your Birth Certificate itself is recently issued - but because the "Date of Registration of Birth" on the certificate is recent. It means, your birth was not registered at the time you were born. Thats the real issue. Please let me know, if its otherwise - anyone thinks I am wrong?
Please keep us posted.

Would copy of affidavits do ?
When i originally files I-485 I provided a copy of Non Availability cert and
2 affidavits form my parents. But I sent the affidavit copies. 2 days back
RFE was generated. Are copies of affidavits acceptable ??
Will let you know when I get to hear about the RFE.
thanks

Thanks GK. It would be a great help if you can find the format for these affidavits. I am planning to send them to my parents this weekend.
GK: Have you notirized those affidavits? If you have not done
Can anybody shred some light on whether it is required to notirize them or not?

Affadivits are required to be notarized
typically affadivits are on stamp paper if prepared in INDIA and on plain paper if prepared in U.S.A. Either case notarized affadivits have been the trend so far.
I did the same for my RFE on B.C. Got approval within a week of RFE reply.
RFE on B.C is a common one. Nothing to worry about. please do not forget to provide old school certificates which as D.O.B to prove the authenticity.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL.
