I guess my passport wasn't clear enough and my birth certificate was in summary form (wallet size) instead of original and I guess had like holes punched in it but I don't remember that at all...

Since your attorney filed for you, it is normal for them to receive the RFE. It is unfortunate, though, one would think paying for an attorney would at least mean you were sure your case was bulletproof and would avoid RFE's. :(

I hope you get a reply soon. What was your RFE for, if you do not mind me asking?

Okay, so we got the letter.

They want a photocopy of the original marriage certificate together with the translation if not in English.

-_-

We sent them a photocopy of an international wedding certificate which is translated in several languages at the back AND we highlighted the English part.

So they are asking for something they already have. Urgh!

We will send it... Again. This time I will include another translation, written by me, but I will feel very dumb translating it to English ... from English.

Sorry to hear that was your RFE. I guess they were looking at your docs like every other case and expecting a separate translation page.

Don't forget to include the translator's certification statement on your second translation and it is best if this certification is done by someone other than yourself or your spouse. Gotta be redundant since they already missed your first one! headbonk.gif

I got the RFE notice around 6:30pm today. Will I be able to call USCIS tomorrow to find out what it is they need or do I have to wait for the physical copy?



I am happy there was some movement on my case, but I am still sad it was an RFE. Will they approve our file quickly after we send them the requested evidence? Thanks!

Ok so I got the hard copy of the RFE today and they are asking for an English translation of my marriage certificate which, dumb on my part didn't send in, but I did send an original copy of our marriage certificate in Spanish and I was wondering if I have to send in another original or if a copy of the original and a translation and a page of the translator certifying that it is an accurate translation. It will be pretty hard for me to send in another original so will a copy be fine?

Thanks a lot everyone here has been great!!!
