i30 filing

[waski44 0]

I will need a little help to understand this RFE  i had for my i30 filing. uscis sent me a letter to provide extra evidence to claim the relationship between myself and my mother. provide early school records, early hospital records and census records. if those are not available i should submit an evidence of non existence before i could provide affidavit and DNA testing.  Now, how do i submit this evidence of non existence? Any help will be appreciated.

(2)     Nonexistence     .            

  The absence of an official record may be proven by a certified written statement by the official ordinarily having custody of such records, or by an appointed deputy that, after diligent search, no record of the event is found to exist. Such a statement must be accompanied by a duly authorized authentication that the writer has legal custody of such records. Although generally accepted, there is one inherent weakness to a statement of nonexistence...it relies on the other unsubstantiated evidence submitted about the location of the claimed event and record.              

 

A petitioner or applicant cannot simply assert that the primary evidence does not exist. The absence of a primary record, instead, must be proven either:

 By a written statement from the appropriate issuing authority attesting to the fact that no record exists or can be located, or that the record sought was part of some segment of records which were lost or destroyed; or                    

 By evidence (such as an affidavit) "that repeated good faith attempts were made to obtain the required document or record."
