Request for additional evidence: Help (merged)

[VolimTe 0]

My husband filed for his parents to come to US on June 9^th. This is what we received via case status online.

"On November 10, 2015, we mailed a request for additional evidence for your Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, Fiance(E), or Orphan, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXX. The request for evidence explains what we need from you. We will not take action on your case until we receive the evidence or the deadline to submit it expires. Please follow the instructions in the request for evidence. If you do not receive your request for additional evidence by December 10, 2015, please go towww.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy. If you move, go towww.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address."

I submitted everything that was asked of us, I wonder if this could be a denial or something? What does the case status show for NOA 2?

You will have to wait to receive the rfe. It could be something as simple as a missing signature or a piece of paper they misplaced.

What exactly did you send?

One thing K1 files sometimes forget is the letter of intent.

This is not for the K1. This is for I130 to bring his parents here. The couple has been married for several years.

This is what we sent below: we sent doubles of everything because it says online they are two separate applications

-Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative - one for his mom and one for his dad

-A copy of my husbands birth certificate showing his name and his mother’s name - included one in moms paperwork, included second one with his dads paperwork

-Because my husband is not a born US citizen he also included his Certificate of Naturalization in both files

-One payment for mom, and one payment for dad

-Parent`s marriage certificate

hi

did you send copies of the translations with the documents? his birth certificate and parent's marriage certificate need to have a translation for each one of them

did you send the translations of the documents that aren't in English? because you didn't mention that

did you send a copy of the marriage certificate in each file?

I'm just throwing out ideas,

you'll just have to wait until you receive the RFE in the mail

I don't think it's a denial. The documents you've sent could have been missing or misplaced. I really advise to give them a call. Tell them you already sent what they've asked for. If they insists that they didn't got it, then asked them what you needed to do. When you call them, call early in the morning when office hours just open. The wait on the line is way shorter than calling in the middle of the day.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I just want to thank everybody for your help!

I will keep you posted - at least we heard something from them even if it` a RFE.. it is what it is...

Need your help now.

We received the RFE in the mail yesterday. When we initially filed, we submitted an international birth certificate for my husband.

Here is the problem; they did not accept it L. I am SHOCKED because I sent one just like that when I was bringing my husband to U.S on a K-1 visa, and I did not have any problems.

I am not going to argue with them! The thing that really confuses me is that I sent a marriage certificate from his parents, also INTERNATIONAL and they accepted that but did not accept the birth certificate. I don't know..

The letter states that my husband`s birth certificate is not properly certified, and it states that all foreign documents must be translated in English (but it had English on it! ughhhh ) . It also states that when we send out the new birth certificate to them to include a foreign birth certificate, and a translated version as well.

My question to youà instead of having his parents send us my husband`s birth certificate to us again, I still have the copy of the international one I initially submitted that was not “accepted” and I was thinking to go and translate it directly to English and of course it will be certified. What do you think of this? I do not have it in front of me right now, and do not have the exact issue date of the international one. However, I was told that some documents can not be older than 6 months. The translated version will not be older of course but i am not sure about the international one.

If some of you can help in this situation that would be great!

What is an "international birth certificate"?

[VolimTe 0]

It has couple of languages on it includIng english and i have sent it to uscis before and it was accepted plus when we filed for his parents to come to US the Marriage cerificate was international too and we didnt receive an rfe for that but we received it for birth certificate. We kept copies of everything so i was thinking to use the international birth certificate originally filed as a foreign one and include a english translatated as well but i am afraid because the letter states That the international one is not properly certified it could cause issues

I just came home from work and I`d like to provide full details of the RFE exactly as it states in the letter.

- You have submitted a foreign language documents that appears to be a Birth Certificate for Danijel (my husband) which was NOT PROPERLY CERTIFIED BY THE TRANSLATOR.

Submit English translations:

If any documents is not in English it must be submitted with a certified English translations. You have submitted a foreign language documents that appears to be a Birth Certificate for Danijel. Submit a complete and accurate English translation and a photocopy of the corresponding foreign language document. Translation without the relating foreign language documents are not acceptable. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate, and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language to English.

My question to you now: They are asking to submit a foreign one and a translated to English version. Should I submit this foreign one I`ve already submitted to USCIS even though it has been denied, and along with it submit a English translated CERTIFIED version.

Does the 6 month rule apply to IR-5? Documents can not be older than 6 months. I just don`t want to go through that hassle having his parents send a new birth certificate when we already have a copy of it.
