OCTOBER 2019 AOS Filers

[Kitty C. 0]

hi all, i recently receive a RFE with request of my Notarial Certificate of Birth (as picture below). my question is, i'm pretty sure that i had enclosed my original birth certificate and a translation document in the file which are both side printed. should i send it in one side printed copy instead to fix it? i'm a bit confused here and would like to know if anyone can share your experience or opinion.

thanks

We received a RFE for birth certificate and we just had the birth certificate registry issue and updated version of it and sent that

UPDATE: I received an RFE for my wifes and her sons birth certificates in december.  After talking to a few people,  who translate foreign documents.. We think my translation was the issue and not the certificate itself.  The direct translation for the section for the parents on the Certified Mexican birth certificate is "Affiliates of the registered person".. and so that is what I put into the translation document  and so the translation did not clearly state the parents.

Has anyone received their EAD who filed AOS/EAD concurrently in October on K1 without expediting?

I think there are different requirements depending on the country. We provided a signed notarial certificate and translation for the birth certificate in addition to the birth certificate and translation.

NO! Do not you have an interview lined already? You may need to wait for that.

I would also suggest you create a timeline here and add it to your profile since you like coming here to ask questions and get answers. Since this is a platform in which everybody helps each other, it would be beneficial you do the same.

thanks for your reply. may i also ask who signed the notarial certificate for you. is he/she a lawyer or work for the government?

btw, my BC was issued from Macau and the BC and translation that i submitted originally are with the official embossed round seal which i thought would be considered as notarized. 

thanks.

@Moana&medo was just asking a valid question like everyone else does here like you said. Most of us want to find a job as soon as we can due to some financial challenges we face. However correct me if I am wrong,  it seems you are annoyed and impatient with your answer. If you feel that way, feel free to ignore such questions. 

 

Again like you said, this is a platform where we help each other. We may not have all the answers that we are looking for here but hearing advice and encouragement is much more welcome. 

 

Admin, feel free to delete my comment if it is not allowed here. Thanks.

Oh bummer! USCIS sent me a RFIE just today. Let's wait and see what it is for. The good thing is that they are looking at my case. I hope it's an easy fix!

We got it from the local notarial office in Guangzhou and signed by them. The notarial certificate is called 出生公证书.

For Macau, it doesn't look like there is a notarial certificate? You may have to talk to someone more informed.
