RFE for Proof of Citizenship

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

So... I got an RFE for proof that the joint sponsor on I-864 is a USC. Well proof of status.

The issue I have is that she doesn't have a long version of her birth certificate or a passport. What she does have is an old school birth ceritificate. It is small but it has both parents names on it, I figure this may be because it is an original from the 50s.

Do you think this will suffice?

I will send it in also with her driving license copy and copies of her federal government ID. (She is senior management in a government agency.)

I also have an original record of baptism.

I know that seperately these don't count for much but together maybe?

Do I have any other choices? Anyone else been in this situation? Any feedback is appreciated.

Her U.S. passport copy or BC will be enough. Or certificate of naturalization.

If LPR, needs similar proof.

From the I-864 instructions:

Proof of U.S. citizen or national status includes a copy of your birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, consular report of birth abroad to citizen parents,or a copy of the biographic data page of your U.S. passport.

Turns out I didn't need the full birth certificate.

I sent a copy of Registration of Live Birth, 2 federal employee IDs and a certificate of baptism. This resolved the RFE so I guess I panicked for nothing.

I did order the certificate anyway and will take it to interview in case.

Thanks for the replies!
