Thank you so much for the info! Was it 5 business days or 5 days in total? I hope it is something stupid too! 

It was business days.

 

I was hoping regular days.. but it was business days sadly.  At least it was something stupid.  In a way.. cant really say stupid i guess as doing it incorrectly is costly.

P.S. my RFE was for a stupid birth cerificate.  Apparently they did not like the ones I sent. 😂

Can you help your fellow VJ'ers out by giving us some more details about your birth certificate RFE? What did they claim the problem was with your original submission? Thanks, and good luck on your journey.

Great question. Ours could be the BC as well as it does not have a name on it. It is just the way it has been since he was born.

I received an RFE about BC too and have sent out the response last week. 
After doing some research in VJ forum who got the similar case of RFE , this is what they want :

~ a copy of original birth certificate (I am from Indonesia so my birth certificate is in bahasa)

~ Original Translated Birth Certificate from the sworn translator 

 

hope this helps. 😊

Don’t forget that it also needs to be the long-form BC with the names of both parents on it. 👍🏻 It seems lots of people receive RFEs for sending in short-form ones.

Wow, you made it through the K-1 process without his name on the BC? What is your plan if they need a BC with a name on it now?

Provide an affidavit explaining why there is a name on it. Yes, it was the same BC used on the K1.

Yes. we sent in the long forms (verfied here on VJ with others from Mexico).  Although hers lacks her actual place of birth (says just the state but no city), and her sons lacks thebname of the father (long story).

 

Luckily she does have birth records with us (we brought ALL her important documents.

 

We originaly sent:

Long Form birth certificates (copied front and back)

Certified translation done by me but left date format same as orginal which I didnt even think needed to be "translated". (DD/MM/YYYY)

 

We will be sending in:

Cover letter

ORIGINAL birth certificates (Long forms, we bought 5 certified copies in her home country of each)

certified Translated copies done by a translation service

 

Secondary evidence:

My wifes original birth records, that shows location of birth

Step sons original records that also show no father recorded. Possibly an explanation of this as well. 

 

Copies of RFE letter.

 

Sending K1 and K2 RFEs back separately for tracking of both.

To me, it looks like they havent even seen a record of birth. Generic letter.

Looks like most people here received updates on their cases a month after fingerprints. My in-laws had their fingerprint bio appointment on 11/5 and we have heard nothing since. Latest update is form 11/11 that fingerprints have been completed. I wonder if they look at their case differently since it's not a marriage based petition. Does anyone know?

My father also had biometrics completed on 12/9 and no update after that. Is there any parents I-485 that has moved that applied in October ?
