RFE received for late birth registration. HELP!

[Rainbow_2018 2]

Hello fellow VJ members,

 

I have filed I130 for both my parents in January 2018. PD Jan 19 , TSC.

 

My mom's application got approved, however my dad got an RFE saying the birth certificate that I submitted was registered 27 years after the event happened. I was born in January  1983 in India and my birth was registered 3 days after my birth on 2/2/1983. The birth certificate that i provided with I130 application clearly states registration date on it as 2/2/1983, but the issue date when we got it was 7/29/2010, which clearly states as issue date on my birth certificate. I think they got confused with "registration date" and "issue date" and sent me an RFE. Note that my mom's case got approved with same birth certificate.

 

Now, the RFE is to provide additional documents to proof the relationship with my dad. The documents they are asking needs to be oldest as possible

 

I have the following secondary documents stating my dad's name as my father

 

School certificate

School mark sheet 

Old passport 

college mark sheet

 

Please advise on how should i proceed. I am planning to resend my birth certificate with these secondary documents and a cover letter explaining  them the misunderstanding that they might have. Do I still need an affidavit with all these documents or can i submit my birth certificate, and secondary school documents? 

 

Thanks for reading, hope someone can advise!

I think that you should submit all the documents with translation as above, and include the explanation, maybe some old photos.

If you find other old documents which will be better. 

But you should keep the original and send them the copies only, to prevent your documents are lost during transfer.
