RFE :(

[Pentatonics 0]

Received a RFE for Alperens birth certificate. I know we sent it in (the original) along with a certified translated copy. We have a copy of his birth certificate and the translation in his computer. I don't know why we got this since we already sent everything in. What should we do now? Send in copies of what they already have? I'm sooo frustrated

did you the send a Certified translated version of the BC ? may be notarized or from a certified translator . not doing that could be a reason for the RFE i presume

Translations do not need to be notarized. Documents can be translated by anyone that is fluent in both languages. http://www.visajourney.com/content/translations

OP> Just re-send the documents they are asking for. They may have overlooked or misplaced them.

Exactly they may have misplaced them.

When responding to a Request for Evidence it is extremely important that you place the blue coversheet on the top of the response you send to them. The VSC receives thousands of pieces of correspondence each day, if the blue coversheet is not on the top of the response it will be placed in “general” correspondence and NOT sorted as a priority, which may delay your case.

Agreed, resend. But make sure you're sending the right thing - is it a long form birth certificate?

Ya gotta wonder- how do you misplace something that is in a bound file?? But the only thing you can do is send the requested information

This whole process makes me wonder, we just have to deal with it one at a time.

The birth certificate was the long one. The translation was certified and notarized. The cover sheet we received was yellow not blue. Should I worry that it's not blue? It said to send that yellow sheet with my information. It is funny but we even put exactly what was in our package on the cover sheet. It clearly states the birth certificate and translation. We probably checked 10 times before we sent it to make sure everything was there. We are working hard to do everything right and it seems like other people's mistakes always finds us. Sorry for the rant but we are soo frustrated.

Don't beat yourself up about it. It is normally best to send in photocopies of documents like this just in case they do something stupid like lose an original copy. I would double check that they just asked for another copy, If you have the copy in the computer send it again.
