Hi everyone, hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season :)

I sent all the forms in a couple months ago. I got a letter today from USCIS "Request For Initial Evidence (I-485)."  
It says they want an English translation with the applicant's foreign birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority. If the document is in a language other than English, you must submit a copy of the foreign document and an English document.


Hubby was born in Toronto & I was certain I enclosed a copy of his birth certificate with the I-485 but I may be wrong.  Is that what they are asking for? Do I just need to send a copy of his birth certificate in to them? His birth certificate is in English and French. 

Thanks in advance & again I hope I put this in the correct thread.

So all I need to do is send in a copy of his Canadian Birth Certificate right? I don't want to mess anything up :(
The mailing I got from USCIS was 3 pages long and on pink paper.
Said we have 87 days to get the info in to them & to enclose copies of all 3 pages with my response.

 

Thanks again!

Same happened to us. My advice is to take it seriously and give them what they asked for. Here’s my post about my steps.
