@Demise should I select the  "signature required" service for the FedEx delivery for medicals to field office. The FedEx employee on Saturday said FedEx standard overnight would ensure delivery but now I am not sure. should i go in my FedEx account and change it to signature required? Medicals packet is scheduled to be delivered to stlouis field office tomorrow. 

Not sure if requiring signature delays the package or something. 

It really doesn't matter.

I got an rfe for birth certificate. Sent a copy to the attorney. I was told that there might be an issue since the issue date is in 2016. I didn’t have one before then since it wasn’t required and wasn’t a standard back then in my country back in the days. So got one in 2016 when I initially filed for AOS. Still waiting to hear back from the attorney on this.

 

Question: Would this be an issue? Is there a way to resolve this?

How did you got an ID or a passport in your country without a birth certificate?

Have you ever presented a birth certificate in an US embassy for any visa process?

That might be the issue. 

It can be understandable if you loose the original birth certificate an now having the duplicated one of 2016 from your home country. 

The administration will really like to know whom are they dealing with.

It May also work, one never knows.

Guys I’m having a heart attack! I just checked my status and is said: Correspondence Was Received And USCIS Is Reviewing It. 
I didn’t send any correspondence! Help!! 
 

 

I received the update too on aug 3 and my lawyer didn't send anything but my congress did. So thats why they updated to that

Hi fam 

 

ive been waiting on 824 for so long and no approval yet. I contacted the congressperson and USCIS responded that the processing time is 12 months and that’s how Long it will take to process this form. 
 

ive been waiting for so long for the i360 approval and now I have to wait another year or more just to forward my approval to the NVC is just not reasonable, then I still have to wait for the NVC process and the embassy which might take another year. So frustrating that 824 is making this long delay for no reason since my petition has already been approved 

 

people have to wait 12-40 months for minor things such as a duplicate and forwarding approval is insane. 
 

is there anyway I can have this approval moved to the NVC faster? Expedite by Congressperson was denied. Do you guys think contacting ombudsman office would help?

Does ombudsman answers any request at all?

You can also try. But frankly speaking, I haven't seen anyone on this thread gotten any reply from ombudsman. 

So sad 😔😔😔

What country are you from? There is a visa reciprocity table that will show issuing authority. Since I assume you did go through consular vetting when you obtained the visa you entered the US with, I don’t see you facing much issue with the delayed registration of your birth….but I am shocked you have an attorney that submitted the I-485 and I-360 without a bc

When I got my first passport like 20 years ago, having a birth certificate wasn’t a requirement, I had a separate national identification which sufficed. Things have changed now. Also when I got F1 visa, submitting a birth certificate wasn’t a requirement and I got the visa without it. I think they know who I am, still it’s causing me some stress, so I asked the question.Thanks for responding back.

The rfe I got included a link to birth certificate requirement table by country, I got what they are looking for, it’s just the issue date I’m concerned about. And yes, they did vet me well I believe, I was put in admin processing for a couple of months before they granted me a visa. I don’t blame the attorney, I had an extraordinary circumstance which required me to file for AOS asap even without the birth certificate. More on that later. Thanks so much for replying.

It sounds like we're in timely need of our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

==============================================
BLONDE-ON-BLONDE CRIME

 

A blonde was speeding in her car when a local police officer pulled her over and walked up to the car.  The officer, who also happened to be a blonde, asked for the blonde's driver's license.

 

The driver searched frantically in her purse for a while and finally said to the blonde policewoman, "What does a driver's license look like?"

 

Irritated, the blonde cop said, "You dummy -- it's got your photo on it!"

 

The blonde driver frantically searched her purse again and found a small rectangular mirror down at the bottom.  She held it up to her face and said, "Aha!  This must be my driver's license!" and handed it to the policewoman.

 

The blonde cop looked in the mirror, handed it back to the driver, and said, "You're free to go.  If I had known you were a police officer too, we could have avoided all of this."

If you choose to disclose your country of birth, you may be surprised with the helpful input you may be able to get. Many here have faced obstacles and most are willing to help. 

But to answer your questions: Yes it could be an issue and Yes there may be a way to resolve it …but it all depends on What Country We Are Talking about.

You're right. 

All depends of the Country we are talking about. 

It May be an issue because it seems he or she has never had any birth certificate before 2016.

Even though he or she have had a passport, an ID and even obtain a Visa F1 before to a US embassy. 

He really needs to clarify that issue to USCIS in an explanatory letter with the help the attorney.If not, this issue may still pop up during the interview if any. 

It would have been no issue if the original birth certificate was lost and he or she got a new one...

But as you rightly said:  "All depends of his or her country of birth"

To transfer your approval to nbc why will it get denied by congress? can you explain?
