Got ours in the mail today.

Stupid USCIS sent an RFE about our marriage certificate. Our certificate was in English(Original not translated), but USCIS thinks its a translated copy and want the certificate in Punjabi(Regional Language).

It is no-where stated that the certificate is translated. But i guess they can't read.

Oh well now have to wait a little more...!!

On the USCIS website where you check your case status you need to create an account. After creating the account, you need to add your case to your account. Once you have added your case, you can see the last updated date and also choose to receive text and e-mail notifications.

I would be better off if i didn't ask for this

I just checked, and the first and only time they checked my case was on april 29.

This is sad.

Thank you!

Is it allowed for the beneficiary to log in on that or only the petitioner?

[JbTin 51]

Yes the beneficiary can also sign up and check the status of your case online.

Oh no, that's terrible! How can they assume it is a translated copy and not an original. Perhaps they are not aware English is recognized as an official language in India. What about your spouse's birth certificate? Was it in regional language or English? If it was in English, they could accept that as original. It is pointless RFE, nothing but sheer waste of time and as if we already haven't waited long enough. If so far two people (both from India) have gotten the same RFE, others may get it too. I pulled out my marriage certificate and checked. It states "This is to certify ABC was married to XYZ on 16-01-2013 (Vide Marriage Record issued to the Party separately) by Qazaat. This certificate is valid under Indian Law."

The Marriage Record issued by Qazaat is in regional language (Urdu). I do not know if the Qazaat-issued Marriage record was submitted along with my I-130 petition. I wonder if I will get an RFE for this.

I did not send Birth Certificates, as they are not required with the 130 petition.
