I-130 request for more Evidence

[DD_PA 0]

Hello Everyone,

I try help my wife file a petition for her mom. We did submitted I-130 form and now they asking for more evidence of the relationship between my wife and her mom due to my wife birth certificate that shows the registration was delayed 32 years. So now they asked for secondary evidence.

1. Secondary Evidence

2. Affidavit

3. Optional DNA test

My question is do we have to submit #1 and #2 or just one of these that available.

Thanks

My mother received an RFE like this when she petitioned for her brother since their birth certificates were registered much much later in life as well.

As proof of their relationship, we sent as many things as they listed in order to ensure that the petitions wasn't denied. We sent affidavits from two elder people and school certificates, evidence from the local mosques they attended, etc. So instead of sending just one or the other, I'd say send as much proof as you can gather.

Thank you teeak for your information. We just have church record that when my wife convert to Catholic and a few family pictures. Talked to the lawyer they said the quick and safe is DNA test. If I submit those evident and they denied we will have to spend a lot of time and money.

Yes, if you only have the church record, then the best way would be to go with DNA test.

Good luck!
