Hi
TheRealCanadian, fire101, great guru, susan ward and any one please suggest

I have submitted the birth certificate registered in 2003
I got the following RFE..

I do not have any documents mentioned below which show both parents name
I got school certificate which shows birth date and father name.

Please advise me what are the options I have in this situation

Thanks for your help

=========================================================
Your birth was registered more than 20 years after the fact.
Please submit the oldest available evidence which establishes your birth and parentage. This evidence may
include, but is not limited to:
a. Hospital birth records which name the child and both parents.
b. Medical records which name the child and both parents.
c. School records which name the child and both parents.
d. Census records which name the child and both parents.
e. Religious records in the form of a certificate under the seal of the organization where the
baptism, dedication, presentation or comparable rite occurred following the birth, showing
the date and place of the child's birth, the date of the religious ceremony, and the
names of the child's parents.
 
I am from India, and I got a similar RFE, except it did not say birth was registered late. It said "The documentation submitted is not sufficient to warrant favorable consideration of your petition/application" and went on to list the same items as in your RFE that may serve as additional evidence.

I am planning to submit the following:
1. Notarized affidavits from both parents.
2. Marksheet from 10th std. and pass certificate that show birthday and father's name.
3. Biographic pages in passport that identify both parents' names as well as birth date.
4. Indian driver's license identifying birth date and father's name.

I hope this helps. Also let me know if you can think of anything else.
 
Hi jsrini77,

Did you submit the BC registered recently? (like me I have submitted BC registered in 2003)

I can provide all the documents mentioned in your post but none of them meeting the criteria mentioned in RFE..

I am not sure how to deal with this.. my lawyer is asking me to provide the government certificate which says birth was registered late..

please let me know what you find from others or your lawyer if this is ok to submit affidavits and school certificate (which has only father name)

Any one please share your experience if you are in the same situation or had in the past..

Thanks
 
i think the RFE only identifies the list as examples and does not limit the kind of evidence one can submit.

I think a notarized affidavit from parents is very "strong" evidence and as such the USCIS would honor it. everything else is secondary. also, the passport is government issued ID, therefore that too is "strong" evidence. if the USCIS wants something more, then I don't know what to do.

in my case, my birth was not registered late, but i obtained the BC recently. my old BC appears to have been misplaced and by an odd coincidence so was my wife's! whichever babu wrote out the BC had pathetic handwriting, and pretty much everything was scrawled.
 
Hi Jsrini77,

can you clarify what do you mean by my BC was not registered late but obtained BC recently?
So do you have registered date on your birth certificate as your original birth date ex: 01-01-1975?

If this is the case you need to worry about it.. you should be fine with two affidavits
