Birth certificate query: Applying for my mum

[jillynilly 0]

Hello. My birth certificate that was provided at the time of my birth only has first name of mum. My mum was able to arrange a new birth certificate for me with her full name, however, now should I submit both the birth certificates with a letter explaining? This is to make sure I don't get an RFE.

You’re almost certain to get an RFE regardless, because you don’t have a full long form birth certificate issued within a year of your birth, unless you upload other evidence (medical, school, church etc records that list you as family) as indicated in the section of the i130 that suggests it. Just a letter won’t do it.

It is hard to get other evidences such as medical, school or church records, any other solution that might help here.

The i130 will give a list of suggestions (more than what I put here, I don’t remember all the options). If you can’t find anything to match any of those , expect an RFE, which will include pretty much the same list along with the suggestion of a DNA test.
