Birth Certificate

[Dave2020 1]

Please help! Does anybody know what birth certificate is needed from Ecuador for AOS? I got the Inscripcion De Nacimento and it was accepted by the consulate, but USCIS is asking for it again. The document I sent with I-485 was not legalized. Could this be the problem? Or do I need another document. Thank you for reading this and I hope you can help.

Did you not submit your birth certificate with your AOS ?

I sent the same BC with I-485 that was given at the interview. But they did not accept it. I wondering if that’s because it wasn’t legalized or if I need another document. It is the document that was asked for in the letter and on the USCIS website.

what is the RFE ?

[Dave2020 1]

It asks for the same document that was already sent. And it does not specify that it needs to be legalized. But on the repricity chart it says that it must be legalized and it wasn’t. It’s the only thing I can think of that need to be fixed.

It is exactly like the sample they provided and I had it translated into English. It was copied from the record books.

is the copy of birth certificate - notarized/certified ?

[Dave2020 1]

Yes, it says it needs to legalized and stamped by the civil registry on the back and it wasn’t. I think this might be the reason for the RFE

[Dave2020 1]

It looks like this, but doesn’t have the stamp or sticker.

This is what DOS states for Ecuador

 

Your birth certificate. The acceptable documents are 1) “Inscripción de Nacimiento” issued by the National Civil Registry and 2) “Libro de Nacimientos” issued by the Corporación Registro Civil de Guayaquil. c  The “Inscripción de Nacimiento” shows “República del Ecuador” in the header and a barcode, electronic signature of Director of the Civil Registry and QR code in the footer. This document is not printed in security paper. The document must be legalized and stamped by the Civil Registry on the reverse side. The “Libro de Nacimientos” is printed in security paper, with water seals on the background and has a dry seal over the Delegate’s signature. Certification stamp and signature are placed on the left side of the document. The document does not need to be apostilled or notarized. The following documents are not acceptable: “Partida de Nacimiento” and “Certificado de Nacimiento”

 

 

 The document must be legalized and stamped by the Civil Registry on the reverse side.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your help. That’s what I thought. The only reason I doubted it was because I took it to a translator and they said something different was needed. But I should trust the government website and not that person. Thanks again.
