RFE for Canadian Birth Certificate

[AlekR88 20]

Hello - 

Yesterday we received a RFE for the I-485, it turns out that the birth certificate we've been using was not the long form that is requested for the I-485.

 

I ordered the Certified Copy of Birth Registration from Service Ontario - is this the proper certificate to send?

 

Do I send the original certified copy or is a photo copy of the certified copy sufficient ?     

 

Also, do we send the original RFE notice back or just a photo copy of the RFE?

 

Thank you in advanced!

You will find the correct document here:

Always send photocopies, unless they specifically ask for originals. The letter should say what to do with the notice.
