I received this today. I submitted BC from Chicago consulate and it looks like it has not worked out. I will set the process of getting NABC from my mother's birth place in India but what I am concerned about is the last Notes para. Can someone interpret that for me? I understand that as - affidavits from relatives certifying the birth is not valid. Is this the standard language that people have seen in RFE?
Please also recommend your inputs. I have a month within which to respond to RFE.
Thanks in advance.

This office is unable to complete the processing of your application to Register for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485) without additional information. Because you sent USCIS an affidavit of birth instead of a birth certificate, further evidence is needed.
Birth Certificate
The birth certificate must have been timely registered, show the date and place of birth, etc.
Certificate of Unavailability
Along with a certificate of non-existence for your birth-certificate, please submit secondary evidence. This evidence may include church, hospital and/or school documents. Affidavits are not considered secondary evidence.
Note: All secondary evidence must be contemporaneous with the event(s) in question. Therefore, the evidence that originated back when the child was young will be deemed more persuasive than evidence that was created as the result of this Request for Evidence
