@Gabriel5454 Yes, that is what I have. In the birth place line it says Syria. I have everything translated and certified. I am thinking of writing an affidavit stating that due to the civil unrest in Syria there is no way for me to obtain the document directly. I reached out to the Syrian embassy apparently only the Cuban location is functioning but no response. I managed to ask around some Syrians and they said usually foreigners did not register with local authorities as you must have had Syrian parents to do so. But I did manage to obtain a certificate from a church where I was baptised in Syria that states the location, date of birth, my name, and my parents names as well. It has offical matriarchy stamps and seals. My concern is will USICS stay adamant about the BC or will accept these? I was born in October 25 1996 and the Armenian birth certificate was given out/registered on September 8th 1997 (almost a year later). Does that matter?

Thanks for the sarcasm

But I do have a BC from Armenia that states my birthplace as Syria. My parents never registered my birth in Syria as it was a emergency birth and we only stayed there temporarily.

That is not possible unfortunately.

I understand that but i have no documents from syria at all. I was never a citizen or resident

Hello, Planning to AOS within US from F1, spouse is USC. I was born in Syria but was not a citizen (both parents citizens of Armenia and I always was a citizen of Armenia). My parents obtained a birth certificate from the Russian embassy in Syria stating that I was born there. Currently, I have my birth certificate issued by Armenia officially that also states place of birth as Syria. Will this cause a problem during AOS such as RFE? My worry is that they will expect a Syrian birth certificate based on the schedule of requirements.
