German birth certificate extract for I-485?

[BH&JK 10]

Hey everyone,

 

My fiancé is beginning to gather the necessary documents to apply for AOS once we are married and has run in to a question about her birth certificate. Specifically, does anyone know if USCIS accepts the "extract from birth registration no." (Auszug aus dem Geburtseintrag Nr. XXXXX) document as a valid English translation of a German birth certificate? She got this document from the same office (civil registry office - Standesamtsbehörde) as her true birth certificate and it contains all the same information as the true birth certificate in several languages (including English). I tried looking around on VJ and found a few posts suggesting that for EU citizens USCIS would accept these birth certificate extracts for I-485 but wanted to double check. Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes.  It's listed as an acceptable alternate document in the Reciprocity page that USCIS uses to validate foreign civil document formats -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Germany.html

Ah perfect, thanks for your help!
