Invalid Document- RFE

[Hoba 14]

Submitted Documents Jan 24, 2022. Received RFE today. Our Marriage Certificate and my husbands Birth Certificate was said to be Invalid. I don't understand why, we submitted the original certified documents along with the  English certified Translations. Marriage was in Egypt. Interview will be in Bahrain where my husband currently works. I attached the messages I received. I just don't understand why the marriage certificate especially was invalid. If any one can please help.

 

I talked to them on the phone but the person didn't seem to know anything about why exactly the documents are invalid. He just asked me if i wanted a re-review and I said yes, he hung up the phone before I could even ask what a re-review means or how long it would take. Does anyone have any information on that matter as well?

Sorry to hear about the RFE. As mentioned above in little footnotes, were your marriage and birth certificates issued by the relevant authorities?

Check the authorities that issued your paperwork - ensure that they map to the requirements you got in your message. it seems that the authorities in egypt issue documents in english, so you need to get them in original english format as a priority...

Egypt issues documents in arabic. So we had the documents translated and certified.

@Hoba did you ever figure out the birth certificate?  My husband received an RFE for his Egyptian birth certificate.  We submitted the official one with a certified translation.  Any advice on what they're looking for from us?
