RFIE for i-485 AOS - Birth Certificate. Advice?

[tirzajogja 56]

I also received the same RFE about birth certificate on Aug 11 and replied to them on 13 th,  even though I've sent the copy of my original bilingual (Indonesian-English) birth certificate on my initial application. I replied the RFE by sending them the same document and plus, an original translation by sworn translator.  My friend who sent the same document didn't get any RFE. So I assume they misplaced the document

Have you had any updates or responses from USCIS about your RFE @JunkTardis?

In a panic, I made an InfoPass appointment as well as sending USCIS/NBC replacement copies of my Birth Certificate with a note from myself saying 'The birth certificate was issued in England, the country where English came from...I cannot translate an English birth certificate to English'. I told InfoPass what happened and what actions I took and they found the entire thing absurd. They said I had done the correct thing by sending a replacement copy as they advised me that it may have gotten lost or misplaced and that the RFIE was a generic message with no real detail to it. My advice is what you have done, which is to send a replacement copy of the same document. Due to it being an RFIE, it does add some processing time onto your case so expect a delay whilst they confirm it. In my case it set me back about 1-2 months. I successfully obtained my EAD/AP at the end of June, and got my conditional Green Card 2 weeks ago with no issue

Thanks! I did send the same document with additional translation. I sent my RFE response and they have received it on Aug 13. Now just wait for the status to be updated.
