RFE for I-130 - Nikkah Nama

[Fatima21228 0]

Hi, 

I recently received an RFE from USCIS for my form I-130 for my husband. I am a Pakistani American Citizen. However, the RFE stated the following:

SUBMIT NIKAH NAMA

The marriage certificate submitted for MY NAME and MY HUSBANDS NAME is insufficient because it was not issued by the proper civil authority and/or does not meet Pakistan marriage document requirements, as outlined in the Department of State Visa Reciprocity Table..

Submit a copy of the Nikah Nama issued marriage registration certificate. The certificate must:

• Be registered and issued by the appropriate civil authority in the country of birth
• Include the names listed above and the date and place of marriage
• Show the date of registration, seal of the issuing office, and signature of the registrar

 

So, I had initially submitted just my NADRA marriage certificate and nothing else. I understand that they are probably requiring the original Urdu Nikkah Nama and it’s translation which I submitted with the RFE. All of my documents are also attested with the stamps on them as well. Is this all they are asking for? 
 

I do have a union council stamped and signed NADRA certificate that I uploaded. And I also uploaded the original Urdu Nikkah Nama that’s stamped by the Nikkah Registrar (and of course the attested Urdu translation) 

 

is there any reason to assume there would be a denial, or have I managed to provide the information they asked?

That's exactly what they are asking for.  Should be good to go.
