But spouse's birth certificate is required later at the NVC stage? Why would they ask for it now?

Agree. I didn't send my wife Birth certificate as well and it is not even on the checklist. 

Yes I know we also thought it was strange because we knew it wasn't a requirement. Iv spoken to a few other couples on here though and they had the same

Saw it on the USCIS website to prepare 3 sets of documents for USCIS Stage,NVC Stage&the Embassy Stage&must comprise of all relevant documents including Birth Certificate of the Petitioner&Beneficiary.

God speed to all..... We understood both birth certificates were part of the required petition documents.  Always better to front load these petitions.

Just wanted to update everyone about my RFE.. they wanted my (beneficiary) birth certificate. 

 

Priority date: Jan 18th 2017

Request for Additional Evidence mailed: 12th July 2017 (updated on app)

RFE received in mail: 24th July 2017

Birth certificate sent: 25th July 2017

 

Hopefully we get approved soon

Good luck! Texas usually approves two weeks after they receive the RFE.

My PD is 6th Dec 2016. Got my NOA2 on April 8th. I'm currently waiting for my case complete from NVC. Been waiting for almost 9weeks. The waiting is so frustrating. I found this forum and just wanted to check the USCIS progress and I feel really bad for whining about how long I've been waiting for my case to be completed at NVC 😐 Sorry for you guys who have been waiting for your NOA2 since January! Even there are few from December PD. I hope all of you got your case approved at USCIS real soon and smoothly! Hang in there. 

[OKAAjide 6]

Thanks yes, we're hanging in here....waiting and waiting for the NOA2 from Texas 

PD 1/9/17

Did a copy of your birth certificate suffice or did you need to get a certified original copy?

A copy is fine. You only need to take the Original to the interview

Initial would mean something was missing. Like a document was forgotten.

 

Additional will mean adding more to help support evidence already included.
