Birth Certificate Notorization Question?

[SENKA 0]

My original BC is not in English, and I had the English translation certified. Does anyone know if I have to have copy of BC in original language notorized as well?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

A certified translation will do.

Ok, I have a similar question.

I recently requested a certified copy of my Birth Certificate (BC) and on the BC it has stamped 25 AUG 05. I noticed that on the copy it no longer has an embossed state seal.

I am thinking of including this original in the I-129F packet because the back of the form is blank and being there is no raised seal they may not like just a plain photocopy. I can always request another certified copy later for my own records.

Question is...

Anyone ever get a RFE using a copy of a BC and what was it they REALLY wanted to see? Were they looking for a raised seal?

How can they expect a raised seal on a PHOTOCOPY of a document?

Is this a Colombian BC or a US BC? I used my wife's Colombian BC (original) and a certified translated copy when I filed the AOS (She brought 2 BCs and 2 transalted certified copies for use here.) That worked well. Good Luck

Well I meant you can still make out the official seal when you make a dark photocopy. In other words my US BC looks pretty fake as a copy. So the question was has anyone ever gotten held up because of the US BC.
