Need advice - USCIS letter receipt

[Rob&Jasmin 0]

Hello all,

I'm in the military currently deployed to Afghanistan. I'm trying get my fiancee from the Philippines on a K1 Visa. My mother just recently receipt our first letter from USCIC stating that the "Country of Birth Unknown" for my fiancee Jasmin. Has anyone encountered this problem? I did reveiw her birth certificate and it is difficult to read but this is the best copy she has and received it from the Census record office. The put a statement on the reverse but I noticed that they only put the City in which she was born and did not include the country. With the front hard to read and the reverse missing the name of the country I'm wondering if this is the problem. Well it's Sunday here and Saturday in the US so I have to wait a couple days before I can call USCIS.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this situation or knows of this kind of situations. Anyone please feel free to advise.

Thank you,

Robert

Good day!!...is that a RFE or NOA1??..since you metioned 1st receipt, I assumed it's the NOA1...just wondering, I checked our NOA1 but we don't have anything written like that one..the NOA1 we have only has the petition and beneficiary's names, address of the petitioner, notice date and date received by USCIS with the receipt #(you can track your case at the USCIS website with the receipt number)....hmmm, who filled up the forms, you or her?? were you able to double check the G-325A forms before you send them to the USCIS?..coz i checked the photocopy of the G-325 forms that we sent to USCIS..on your fiancee's G-325A biographic form, there's a space there for "City and Country of Birth"(I wrote mine.. Bacolod City, Philippines)..she might have just place the City of birth and forgot to write the country of birth..coz whenever you send the I-129F package it's only your birth certificate(US citizen) which you will send and not of your Filipina's birth certificate..the only info they have from your fiancee were the ones she filled up on her G-325A forms...don't worry, just prepare your fiancee's birth certificate(NSO copy) if ever they would ask RFE..they will tell you what to submit to them and what to do...and to make sure, just call USCIS...hope we were able to help...God bless!!

Hello Pookaphilus,

I dont know what the letter looks like, it was sent to my mom in Dallas. So dont know if USCIS is asking me for something or not, or just informing me that they dont know the country of birth, I didnt even think that they could be talking about me, I assumed it was my fiancee. You know my mom and relatives are from Silay. I did not fill out the documents, I had them prepared by someone one else. I guess I have to wait til Monday to find out what USCIS needs when I call them.

Thanks,

Rob

lol..I'm living in Silay City...that's good to hear...hmmm..if your mom can scan and send you the letter, it would be helpful coz at least you would know what it is..I'll assume that you sent your I-129F package to the USCIS, so if it's an RFE(Request for Evidences), then just prepare your fiancee's birth certificate to prove her country of birth..you two wasn't able to check the forms before you submit them...but somehow, if it's a RFE, you need to respond to the letter as soon as possible or else they will not tackle your petition...btw, try to make your visa timeline here so that we know how we can help you...God bless on your journey!!

No I dont think it's an RFE. I think it's the NOA1 I had her read the entire letter to me. At the top is said Notice of Action. It had the acceptance for my check payment. My mom does not know how to use a computer. So she's mailing me a copy. That's what I was thinking just having my fiance redo the birth certificate with a better clarification since the front is difficult to read. I've only been to Silay a few times over the years. Where do you live? My mom's family is very poor they live in the Cane land near Central. What is it that you do and what does your fiance in the states do?

Do not try to get a better local Birth Cert. Get the NSO one since you will need it for the embassy interiew later. The NSO birthcert will not be much better but it will on NSO security paper and have the letterhead so it is clear where the birth was. We had a simiiar issue with Trisha's Birth Cert. You can not read it along with the NSO one since the NSo one is nothing more than a copy of the local one.

While your at it get at least 4 copies.

You will need one for Embassy, later for AOS interview, and other things like drivers license, etc.

So if it says that its a Notice of action and states that they recieved your payment..It's the NOA1....hmmm..you can't get any better copy of your fiancee's birth certificate..if i guess correctly, the one you have is already her NSO Birth certificate(is it a yellow paper??)....coz on my birth certificate, they also state there that it's the best copy they have..lol..somehow the fonts are also not clear..as long as they can still read that one that would be fine..just prepare that NSO copy just in case they would send you a RFE letter...she might have just forgotten to write her country of birth in her G325A..don't worry as long as they have your petition and they are adjucating that one...they will just ask for more evidences if you miss some things...your parents live at Hawaiian Central, Silay City..yep, it's quite far from the city but it's a nice place..surrounded by sugra cane fields..i live within the city proper...just have faith..and pray that they will touch your petition and you will get your NOA2 soon...God bless!!
