uscis error USCIS requested for RFE that does not exist

[ritbiv 95]

Hello fellow VJers,

I filed i130 for both my parents last year September. My PD is September 18, 2021 for both the cases. Today I received an RFE to submit my foreign language birth certificate. I have an Indian birth certificate and as the official language of India is English I have a birth certificate in English. And that’s my only birth certificate. I submitted that during both my applications. Nowhere in my application did I mention that that was my translated birth certificate. 
The RFE that I got today asked me to submit a foreign language original birth certificate because apparently I submitted “translated birth certificate” as per USCIS.

Have anyone faced a similar situation? How can I provide USCIS with something that does not exist?

USCIS does make mistakes.  Re-submit your existing birth certificate along with a letter explaining that the original BC was issued in English, hence there's no foreign language version.  You may also note in the letter that it is the same BC you used for your own immigration journey (if that is indeed the case).

Thank you. Just re-submitted my birth certificate with a letter explaining everything. Now the waiting begins, again. 😊
