Responding to F4 RFE - Birth Certificates

[Okalian 41]

Howdy!

 

I filed I-130 for my sister back in 2015, and just now i received an RFE. It says i have submitted only the translation of my birth certificate and that of my sister, and the letter specifies they need a copy of the original foreign language documents from which the English translations were made AND a complete and accurate english translation. 

 

The 2nd thing is about my birth certificate being registered 8 years after my birth (which i wonder where did they get this from?). So i need to provide one that establishes I'm the child of my parents.

 

The Egyptian ministry of health can issue an official birth certificate in English. If I submit that (along with my sister's birth certificate), will that suffice for both requests (assuming no registration date is shown on the birth certificate)? Or do I have to stick to exactly what they're asking for, a foreign-language birth certificate with an English translation?

USCIS instructions say documents should be in Native language with a translation into English (they require both)

always do exactly as immigration and RFE says / they will go no further with processing until you do which is already a slow slow process

best to you

Thanks for the response!

 

Upon closer inspection i actually found out that the official English version of the birth certificate states that it's a "Translation" - thus their need to see an original version. My bad! Will include originals and send them off.
