RFE for birth certificate, which was 100% included with original application

[alienrayray]

Is it possible they overlooked it? It's asking for birth certificate and we 100% sent a copy the first time along with a certified translation. Do we just send it again? Or how do we find out what needs to be different? The letter is vague and if you call them they just say they can't answer questions and to hire an attorney if you're confused

That is very strange, I mean, what does the letter say? I will send one more time ASAP if I was in your shoes.

Good luck.

We 100% submitted a copy of her birth certificate that did have a seal. And we included a certified translation.

We received the same RFE asking for birth certificate back in March. We replied to it with the same copy as what we had included in our original submission package. Our case now is waiting for the interview to be scheduled.

Can you check if your birth is registered within 12 months of Birth? They don't accept Birth certificates if it's registered after 12 months. You have to submit any secondary evidence if that's the case.

I received the same exact RFE even though my lawyer included the birth certificate for both of us. However, they asked some other documents too though so my lawyer is just going to send the old ones again with additional documents. However, make that your birth certificate is a legible seal or so on it to make it valid.

Why don't you contact support at tnesevai tnega? There should also be points where you will find how to get permission directly. I'm sure that either an employee will help you in the chat, an email, or a hotline for online calls. Have you looked at these options? I think that nothing is impossible. Anyone can achieve anything. Just call there from morning to evening if there is no answer. In such situations, self-confidence and stubbornness help a lot. And it is better to write emails.
