Hi all,

We just submitted the I129f petition and now I am thinking ahead to the next step. My fiance lives in France but was born in Cote d'Ivoire, which is descending into civil war. He only has an extrait d'acte de naissance with him in France, not a copy of the acte integral.

1. If I understand the instructions correctly, what he will need for the interview is the formal, long form certificate - ie, the acte integral. Is that correct?

2. I checked the DOS website that lists what documents "should" be available in different countries and it says "available" for birth certificates in Cote d'Ivoire - even though the government is basically non-functional there at the moment. Has anyone been in this situation previously? Is this negotiable - can we explain the situation to the CO?? We will be going through the Paris consulate.

Any dvice would be much appreciated. Police certificate is not an issue as he moved to Burkina when he was 11 and I can pick up a police certificate for him on one of my trips there.
