    This was before COVID though, so not sure if that was a factor. Also, it was just my mother’s first name that was misspelled. I did not have a lawyer help me, I just went to my local civil registry. I honestly forgot the whole process since it was over 4 years ago, I’m sorry I can’t be of help! The only thing I remember is providing her birth certificate and other government IDs.

    Just in case you still need information… I am also late registered, but not for that long. I was asked for my baptismal certificate and local civil registry document. As mentioned above, it depends on the officer but if I didn’t have those documents with me, it would have caused delays. I also brought form 137, school ID that I can find when I was in elementary, and even my college transcript of records. I also had my mother’s name updated since it was misspelled on my original birth certificate. It only took about 3 months then the annotation was added when I requested for copies of my birth certificate before I left for the US.

    My case status updated to “case was updated to show fingerprints were taken” almost two weeks after they received it. I also got a notice that they reused my biometrics.
  28. AFCF
    Nothing new for me. Glad that they reused my biometrics though, but mine is LIN. I’ve accepted it before I even filed but it’s just crazy that we have to wait so long for this.

    Thank you so much for confirming, @top_secret!

    Thanks again and congratulations on your naturalization! 😊
  31. AFCF
    THANK YOU! You are correct. It was never about ordering or requesting for copies at all. I know how to/where to get them from and I already have some since I ordered too many (lol) when I was prepping for AOS. Thank you so much, @Me and her!!!

    I was just checking because I wasn’t sure if it would be acceptable since it was officially registered in the Philippines. I don’t have a problem mailing the application. I already have a certified copy of it from a few years back. I was just checking my options. Thanks for your input.
  33. AFCF
    No, they didn’t really say anything more about the exception. But this is what I found… I found some old topics about the same question. Unfortunately, they didn’t really post an update after they were done with the process.
  34. AFCF
    That’s honestly what I was hoping they’d say 😅 I also specifically asked if the situation is considered as something that fits the exception, but I guess not. Thank you for your input!
  35. AFCF
    That’s what I thought too! I sent them an e-mail explaining the situation that it’s for USCIS and all the fun details, they just said that it is a felony to copy and scan and that they advise to submit it by mail or in person (lol).

    I’m not eligible to apply yet but just want to be prepared when the time comes. I will be applying for N-400 under the 3 year rule next year. I know one of the main requirements is marriage certificate. However, in Wisconsin, it is a felony to copy/scan vital records. I checked with Vital Records office and they confirmed this. And I have always sent certified copies to USCIS. I tried looking it up on VJ and there were only two posts about this that I’ve seen. I was hoping to file online. So I have a few questions: 1. For those who are familiar with the process in the Philippines, I have a copy of our PSA issued report of marriage - it shows that we got married in Wisconsin. Can I upload this instead of our marriage certificate? Then maybe just attach the email I received from DHS vital records and a letter that I can send them a certified copy if needed? 2. Since my husband was born in Wisconsin, can I just provide a copy of his passport instead? It is a valid passport that he got over 3 years ago, he never lost citizenship. 3. Or should I just file it by mail? I can then provide certified copies of both marriage certificate and birth certificate. As always, thank you for your help!
