RFE for Insufficient Secondary Evidence of Birth Affidavit. AOS from K1

[Chuksteddylove 22]

Hi All, an RFE just arrived today stating that the attestation of birth letter which I submitted with my application was insufficient. This is the attestation letter I received from the National Population Commission, issued to anyone who's birth falls beyond the coverage of Act No. 69 of December, 1992 on Births, Deaths etc (Compulsory Registration) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the issuance of National Birth Certificate.

This basically means that at the time of my birth, there was no formal birth registration so I do not have the typical birth certificate from the hospital I was born in. So in order to register my birth with the NPC, my father swore an oath (Statutory Declaration of Age) at the Chief Magistrate's Court declaring my date of birth, mother's name, mother's maiden name, birth place, residential address etc.

I do not know what other document to include in my response to USCIS as the initial attestation of birth letter from NPC supersedes the statutory declaration of age my father swore at the high court. And it is the same and sole document the embassy recognize for individuals whose birth falls beyond 1992.

I need suggestions please.

Other than re submitting that document with a letter writing what you explained in your post I don't know any alternative, hoping someone

who went through it will come along and can offer better advice.

Did you submit the Statutory Declaration of Age as well? They should go together. I used both and I was fine.

Hi, did you get your age declaration done on your behalf in Nigeria? how was the affidavit written? because I need to get a similar document from Nigeria for my AOS. Thanks for your help.
