Hey guys, so on this lovely Saturday morning i received my RFIE letter on my case. 🙃 It is for me to “submit a copy of the birth certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority for the applicant. It then goes on to mention only accepting long form certificates  with parents name and about translation to English.... etc 

 

I was born in Birmingham, UK it’s hand written, It is a long form stating both my parents name and signed by the Registrar too.

 

Could the problem be that it’s handwritten? I read one person got theirs translated [ English to English) so it would be typed up instead? 

Do you think i need to do that also?

I am confused. Did you submit handwritten version with your I-485 and then got RFIE for it?

Sorry no, i submitted a copy of my original official birth certificate.

 

I was meant so say in the UK the Registrar fills in the birth certificate by hand and that it’s not typed on the computer.

That’s weird I’m from the UK and did exactly the same. Not heard anything about an RFIE yet but my case has been set to ready to be scheduled

Yh, it so weird but its minor. They’ve probably misplaced it or don’t like the queens English! Lol I’m on the phone to my mum like what kinda dodgy certificate did you get done lol 😂  I read a lady from Wolverhampton was asked for an English translation of her BC as her RFIE. 

 

The upside they've looked at my case and I didn’t wait longer to hear from them!

I've also read on other threads that people had this same issue even though their BC was in English. Someone theorized it may be a delay tactic on their part

I also read about that happening to someone in the November thread, where they were asked for a translation of their English BC. I think they ended up scheduling an InfoPass appointment and the officers there were confused too lol and assumed someone lost the original BC or it was a mistake.

 

I would probably call USCIS and ask to speak to a Tier 2 as well as schedule an InfoPass appointment. If all else fails you can resubmit it with a cover letter explaining that this is the original certificate and that it meets the Department of State reciprocity guidelines for the UK: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/UnitedKingdom.html I believe those are the requirements that USCIS uses to determine if a civil document is in its official form / acceptable. More likely than not, they misplaced it somewhere.. sorry you have to deal with this and hope it gets resolved soon!

Thanks for reminding me 😂

Lol I got mine too this week. It’s so great that they don’t even know their own system. Just gives you so much confidence!!

Thanks i will defiantly  give them a call to ask about it. Unfortunately by Local field office are not taking any walk-ins request or scheduling any info pass appointments.
