i-485 AOS RFE

[nathan688 4]

Hi!

 

I recently received an RFE stating 'Submit an English translation of the foreign language birth certificate you submitted for the applicant'.

 

This is a very confusing letter to receive because I was born in England and my birth certificate is in English.

 

I'm going to try calling (though I'm sure the person on the phone will not be helpful at all), but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Should I actually submit a 'translation'?

 

Thanks for your help!

Haha now that's an interesting RFE. All you can do is send them yet another copy of the birth certificate and a little explanation to spell it out for them, sometimes they're not so smart.

Lol probably an error on their part.  Make sure you escalate to a supervisor and speak to one rather than level 1 rep - saves lots of heartache.

Did you send the long BC version with parental information or short?

I sent in the full long version. It is written in cursive writing so maybe the person in charge of checking couldn't read it? I typed it all out and haven't heard of anything else from them so far.
