Hi! Guru's.... Me and my wife have birth certificates that were registered late in 2001 and submitted, but now i got a RFE to submit affidavits from parents as USCIS doesn't accept late registred birth certificates.
I can't get a non-availability certificate as the authorities back home are saying that, now it is registered and we can't give the certificate.
Can you please help me, by telling what should be the format of the affidavit, as my parents are old and cannot do the running around.
and also is there anywhere i can find a sample of the affidavit and also, what is a plausible reason that i can have on the affidavit for making the affidavit, as it cannot be said that " the certificate is not available".
will appreciate some advise ASAP.
Regards.....
