Hello All,

I hope all is well! I was hoping that my case would be complete by end of this week at NVC! But I got an RFE.

My wife did not have an Original Birth Certificate so as per NVC we had Affidavits of Support in Lieu of Birth Certificates prepared by her Parents/Uncle/Grandfather (3 of them). They di dnot mention to me that I need a letter from the local authorities for not having one.

They say they also need a letter from local county/govt. as to why she does not have an original Birth Certificate. I wish they told me when I called them weeks and months back. I wrote back to them but if they stick to this formality, I am back to delays for a few weeks! What a roller coaster of a JOURNEY!

Anyone else in this situaiton, any feedback, suggestions.......THANKS IN ADVANCE - PANKI

Panki, it is mentioned in their checklist:

Sorry to hear that. Now you have to get that letter soon and submit it. Good luck !

Thanks.....One would think that a highly paid immigration attorney would have told me that but now I truly believe that these lawyers are absolutely worthless because these are the things that they should be advising the clients on!!!

Anyways, thanks for your feedback, much appreciated! Panki!

lawyers are useless.
they wait for you to get paperwork give them they send in, said wait 6month your case will complete. you get rfe ask them they don't know. so i think if you know or speak english use VJ there are tons of great advice than the stupid lawyer. my 2 cent.

back to your case. yes u need to get it notarized even though u can't get original.

very true comments. well, your best bet is to just resubmit it, don't see any other options.. good luck!
