Birth Certificate file number

[nottoolong 1]

When I was double checking my I 129F, they ask for the date it was issued and mine was filed on a different date than my birth (like all...). Can I just type in the date I was born? Or would this matter?

I believe that only applies to if you are naturalized and have a certificate of citizenship through naturalization.

I don't think you need to fill that out if you are a citizen by birth.

Question 10 asks if your citizenship was acquired through (check one),and I checked Birth in the US. They then asked for certificate number, date and place issued. So I wrote my cert. number, date of birth and place. But they ask for date issued, and my issue, or file date is different. Just curious if my date of birth is sufficient.

See this example form.

I was correct in what I said earlier.

If you check 'Birth in the U.S.' you do not need to fill out anything further in that section.

It is for naturalization only.

If you check "birth in the US" then that's all you need to fill in for that question. No need for certificate number or date and place issued.

The cert number has to do with naturalization cert, if you are a natural born US Citizen, you have no naturalization cert number, simply put N/A there.

Oh, I see now... When I first filled it out, I saw that it asked for a certificate number, so I thought (without looking at the instructions...) that spot was for my file number from my Birth Certificate.

Thank you to the both of you for opening my eyes!!

Now, just to ask again from my other thread, is the way the address is written (in the instructions) from Lewisville ok? I have my other documents with that address already, so I want to keep everything the same. I apologize for asking such questions.

Sorry, I should've clarified from my other thread. The Lewisville address in the instructions is written, 2501 South State Highway 121 Business. I would think it should be Business Suite 400 on the next line (and I actually just called USCIS and they did say that). I would assume others have used what's written in the instructions and their packages have been received just fine.

Thank you. That's a possibility as well.
