Now, RFE for Argentinian Birth Certificate [split topic]

[La Bombonera 1]

Hello, 

 

We hope this message finds you well. 

 

My wife and I have received an RFE for AOS (I-485) requesting for "a copy of their birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority in their country of birth. We will only accept a long-form birth certificate which lists at least one parent."

My wife was born in a small, rural town in Argentina where it is still using an old-fashioned birth certificate that does not have the document name such as 'Acta de Nacimiento.' https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Argentina.html.

 

After reaching out to her birth place civil authority, we have been informed by them that there are no other birth certificate templates that can be created. Unlike those applicants who are from the capital city of Buenos Aires, my wife's birth certificate does not seem as official as theirs.

We have submitted the documents listed below and wanted to ask you if anyone had this experience and how you were able to move forward with your AOS. 

 

>Copy of original birth certificate in Spanish

>Copy of legalized Additional Signature Sheet in Spanish

>Copy of apostille of original birth certificate from the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires

>Translated document of original birth certificate from Spanish to English

>Translated document of legalized Additional Signature Sheet from Spanish to English

>Translation certification

 

Thank you for your time.

Note from VJ Moderation:  the above post had been merged with

and is now split from that thread, which was related to the needs of apostille when submitting it to USCIS.

Thank you for your time. 

You gotta go to the  registro civil of the town when she was born . Get a copy of certificado de nacimiento where you can read  "COPIA FIEL Y EXACTA DEL ORIGINAL" with the 2 stamp black or blue.

Beware that may not be acceptable.  The DOS Reciprocity page for Argentina explicitly states -- The "Acta de Nacimiento" is the official birth entry and should be used in place of the "Certificado de Nacimiento."
