Back of Birth Certificate

[kk1502 0]

Hello,

 

I filed my i-130 online on May 29th, and I received my receipt online today with the IOE number. While reading about the K3 process, I noticed it said to put a copy of the back of the birth certificate, and I realized I only included the front of my long form BC plus the apostille form with that. Do I also need to take a photo of the back of my BC and upload that also, and is it too late to add it now if that is the case?

 

Thank you all so much and best wishes, everyone!

If there's anything ON the back of the Birth Certificate, yes.  That's' part of the document.  You did not need an apostille.

It's only a state watermark, no actual info re my birth.

Then it should have been included.  You might be OK without it but rest assured, USCIS adjudicators know what they need to see in a Birth Certificate from each State.

I was able to add the image of the back to my online application, definitely rather have it there just in case. Thank you for your reply!
