I just received a phone call concerning our AOS application. The guy requested our daughters birth certificate to send by email. The email address appears real ******@uscis.dhs.gov. But I don't know, just asking for opinions. Is there any way to check if it is a scam? Or verify the email address? Thanks

Yes, I found it very strange, it is the email address that throws me off, if I use new email, instead of replying to his email, (type in *****@ uscis.dhs.gov, then I think no problem. .gov only can be used by the government. He also seemed to know all the details of our case, I did question him. Very strange.
