Just a long photostatic print of "statement of live birth" with all the information written in by hand, and date-stamped. Listing parental birth info, current residence, and attending physician.

Thanks. I feel like such an idiot for not double checking this. The instructions on the I-485 says birth certificate is required, but didn't say the long version :( it made me feel silly because I thought I didn't miss anything...Almost regretted not using a lawyer.

Wouldn't have made a difference. My lawyer told me that I didn't have to have it. And I don't and my interview is in exactly 3 weeks... totally not pleased.

What do you mean? So you didn't get an RFE without a "long" birth certificate?

I mean a lawyer may not have given you the correct information anyway. So you'd be in the same situation right now.

Mine certainly hasn't given me any decent information.
