childrens birth cert.

[Angel Eyes Yuseef 5]

Ok VJ'ers I have yet another dorky question. I am wondering why USCIS would want the Petitioner's childrens birth certificates. I could see if the petitioner and beneficiary had a child/ren or if the beneficiary had children. But what does the petitioner's children from another marriage have to do with their petiton for a visa??

But what does the petitioner's children from another marriage have to do with their petiton for a visa??

They will matter on the Affidavit of financial support. The petitioner must prove that he has a sufficient income to provide for his wife, step kid/s and bio kid/s.

They want birth certs for the petitioner/beneficiary's children, not children by previous marriage.

It plainly says they want birth certificates of all children. And this is not the finicail part.hmmmm

Sounds like they are fishing for information. I am guessing there is something they are suspicious about and trying to find out some answers. Is your case such that it would require scrutiny?

I seen others with this same RFE most times there is one thing missing or one thing is questionable and they send out the whole bona fide marriage RFE. The little tricks they play. I have seen the birth certificates things before many times, just was wondering what it has to do with this visa process and if anyone knew for sure.

Nothing to do with 2 petitions in a couple of years for two different guys? No?

Just the "little tricks" these pesky immigration officials play.....

So you don't know the answer to the question???

No idea why they want your children's birth certificates. I was referring to Betsy's question about whether or not your case requires more scrutiny, and your response to that as attributing the inquiry to just little tricks they play.

It seems that a petitioner with two petitions close together would be a case where there is more scrutiny. At least one would hope there is more scrutiny in such a case. Your characterization that their request for more information/evidence as being a "little trick" seems incongruent with the reality of your history of petitions. That was my point.

To my relief i have been talking to a few people that have been through this and gotten this same RFE before and 2 Lawyers. Many get the same basic RFE and there not looking for anything but their required to. Kinda like a test to see how serious you are. Becasue they know that as the months of waiting go by, that a roadblock like this can be more then discouraging. And my friends that have recieved the same RFE all had different types of cases to be older, to same age, to strict religious convictions, and no questionable red flags. Lets not forget some people do not even send in a lot of proof and easly get their NOA2. So most likey I was the lucky number that got the RFE for the day. Or maybe my past visa journey had something to do with it. But my past has nothing to do with my orignal question. Which no one seems to have a answer to it, not even the lawyers. They advise, if they ask for them to just send them in.....so... I stay buffled but will do it.

YOUR RFE is one I have seen 3 times from other filers, WORD FOR WORD.............(Typical of the Beneficiary's country) EGYPT..........

You won the daily pick of a FULL RFE that day, just give them all they want, and you will be fine, ITS up the the U.S. Embassy Cairo to be the ones to decide your visa case and if anything they will do the questioning of your past filing if needed. U.S. side only makes sure its a real marriage, no worries Girly, your good!!!!

Being we have 2 months to get all the stuff I knew we were the lucky winner for that day. What blew me away was why my kids birth certificates. But after talking to my lawyer, she said there is ways to get infomation and develop timelines and background history. So i'm just going with it..... The most important thing is I know myself and I know my husband.... It is not for anyone to judge except the Embassy and they will do their job well. Thanks for your encourgement. Cuz some are not so positive..... Thanks
