Evidence Requested?

[Morrin Asturias 0]

When I mailed in the original packet, the I-129F and all, I mailed in both a copy of my Birth-Certificate, a notified letter of my last name change when my grandparnets had it changed when I was 15, as well the copy of my passport. I just got a Request for Evidence for more proof of my citizenship...Should I just resent both of those again, or just one, or what? This is confusing...@_@

Thanks.

I would send it all again with anything else that you can to prove citizenship ( not sure whatelse you could find as what you gave seems good? silly uscis. ) Its likely they lost it or missplaced it tho too is why they are asking for it again. Send it as soon as you can so that hopefully they resume the case quickly.

The answer kind of depends on what the RFE is asking for (specifically). I wouldn't necessarily resend everything again without first taking a closer look at what you did send. For example:

• The birth certificate you sent may not be exactly what they're looking for (for example, some states issue a 'short' and 'long' version of a person's BC; send the short version and likely get an RFE).
• Passport - did you send a copy of all pages?

Just some thoughts to start with.

Were you born in the US? Is your current name different from the name on your birth certificate? I'm assuming the answer to both of these is "yes", which is why they may have had a problem with your evidence.

By "notified letter" I presume you mean "notarized". A notary stamp in the US is usually just for the purpose of witnessing a signature. It doesn't certify the contents of the document - only that the signature was made by the person indicated. Who was the "letter" from, and does it prove your legal name change? Were you adopted when you were 15?

Did you send copies of every page of your passport?

Was born in the united states. I got my birth certificate from South carolina, where I was born. Got the stamped legal name change paperwork from the Armstrong county courthouse in Pennsylvania, where I got the name change from. And I did send EVERY page of my passport...A nice big stack of papers, that was...
