We got RFE!

[Giskat09 2]

My husband got his mail today from USCIS about RFE.

They were asking about the birth certificate of my husband since we submitted the birth certificate that was released from the hospital.

They want a copy release from the civil registrar.

Question 1: How long does it take for the birth cert to be release?

They were also asking about the passport of my husband since we didn't submit the passport because it was revoked upto this time due to debt to child support.

Question 2: Can we submit a photocopy of my husband's revoked passport? Since they know my husband's SSN - they just want to know if my husband is a USC.

Please help us since the due date is March 19, 2009... We have 2 weeks to go to get all these docs..

Many thanks!

I'm not sure how you expected to assure the US government that your husband is a USC if you did not include one of the approved documents as stated in the I-130 instructions. According to the instructions, a copy of the USC's birth certificate is OK, if said birth certificate is issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office or other civil authority.

So to satisfy point one of your RFE, you should get that copy of your husband's BC from the civil registrar in the town/city where your husband was born.

Also, the copy of the revoked passport is OK, if said passport is not expired, as that the passport must not be expired in order to be used as proof of citizenship.

Why are you nervous?

[Giskat09 2]

ah i see i seee.. yes his passport is not yet expired, i believe its until 2011. He was on his way to get his birth cert issued by the civil registrar and i think he will be getting it tomorrow.. we are just just totally nervous bcoz the due date is March 19 - we thought revoked passport is not allowed. We should have submit that before hand. I kept asking here before about it but mostly says that revoked passport might be a reason for denial of our visa thats why we only submit the birth cert from the hospital not from the registrar..

Thanks so much for this reply.

They were also asking about the passport of my husband since we didn't submit the passport because it was revoked upto this time due to debt to child support.

No Len, it is not, and nor should it be. I have experience with this situation as I told you the first time this poster asked for advice and it does not necessarily follow that someone who is behind on child support is an irresponsible #######.
