Hello All,
My case to sponsor my wife to the US was denied one week ago due to me not providing the correct marriage certificate according to USCIS. According to USCIS, the denial letter states the following:
On February 28, 2024, your response was received and included the following:
"Copy of the same Marriage Certificate that accompanied the initial filing, but with the signature not obscured.
While you did submit a marriage certificate, it does not match the Department of State's reciprocity
table. The submitted marriage certificate lacks the civil authority's affixed seal, which is noted on the
certificate itself to be not valid without the seal affixed.
USCIS has determined that you have not submitted sufficient evidence to establish the claimed
relationship and/or eligibility for the benefit sought and your petition is denied."
My marriage took place in Guyana, South America, and the marriage certificate I sent to the response to RFE is the original certificate given to me by the GPO or General Post Office of Guyana. I am so confused as to why they denied my case, I waited 11 months.
