Hello All:

RD 08/01/01

I have received an RFE for Birth Certificate. I had submitted a recently acquired Birth Certificat to NSC when I applied for my I-485.

The RFE says that the birth certificate was issued too long after the actual date of birth, and thus more information is needed.

It says I can submit secondary evidence in the form of medical records, school records or religious documents, or sworn affidavits from persons who were witness to the birth.

Please let me know what type of evidence was submitted by you all who got an RFE for BC. Also is there is recommended format for Affidavit for BC?

Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

Regards.

ps. wife's case pending until my RFE gets submitted.
 
Here is the format I used for me and my wife.
Try getting two affidavits, from your mother and father.
Otherwise any close relative who was 21 years of age at the time of your birth can give you affidavit.

Following format is for the Mother. Change it accordingly for any other person.

SAMPLE AFFIDAVIT OF BIRTH



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


U.S. laws require submission of copies of birth certificate given by the LOCAL GOVERNMENT/municipality of the city, town or village where an applicant was born. Please note, school certificates, baptismal certificates, or certificates from hospital where an applicant was born are not sufficient. The birth certificate must be issued by the local government.


If the local government has no record of the birth, then a Certificate of Non-Availability must be obtained. A Certificate of Non-Availability is a statement from the local government/municipality stating that there is no record of the birth. In addition to the Certificate of Non-Availability, two Affidavits of Birth from persons with knowledge of the birth; parents, relatives or friends who were adults when the applicant was born must be submitted. NOTE: Applicant's parents may submit the affidavits. An Affidavit is a statement under oath and need NOT be notarized provided the Affidavit contains a signed self-attestation clause.
