Hello all,

I'm filling out the I-129f form and I'm almost finished. I had to send away for a copy of my birth certificate because I couldn't find my original and my passport had less than 5 years left on it. This may be a stupid question, but please indulge me if you would: Under birth certificate it asks for the Birth Certificate #, Date issued and State. On my birth certificate, it has Date registered (which is shortly after my birth) and Date issued (which was last week.) The literal part of me says to put last week's date, but I didn't know if anyone else had sent away for a copy and come across this and how they had handled it. I could put R:__/__/__, I:__/__/__ but I don't know if they would know what that meant and I don't want to mess anything up. I also don't want it to throw up a flag that I'm 40ish years old with a birth certificate issued last week either.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Thank you in advance.

Hey there! If you're talking about the line underneath the check boxes for Birth in U.S. or Naturalization (Question 10), you only need to fill in the #, place, etc. if it's a naturalization as per the example here on VJ - http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-129F.pdf

Oh, thank you so much! I looked over that sample 90 zillion times when I originally filled out the form, but that was when I was going to use my passport. Then when I realized it didn't have enough time and I had to send away for my birth certificate, I didn't think to look back. That makes me feel much better! :) I'm just triple checking everything to make sure that I don't do anything wrong. I appreciate your reply!

No worries! I was freaking out about that too, at first. I realized the night before I was going to send off my packet that my original birth certificate is MIA. Thankfully, I had multiple copies stored from playing sports and such and apparently have an official transcript of birth, which I sent off with my copies :P
