US Citizen can also submit a copy of passport, all pages including front cover.

I went to my county health department and acquired a few official copies of my birth cert for filing of I-129F

It's hard to answer without the full context. Please describe the document containing the request and then type out the exact words of the portion that requests any additional items.

BCs in the Philippines are all in English. No need translations.

Has to be NSO BC Certificate on SECPA paper.

and now our visa is getting denied and now our visa is getting denied

Denied or put on AR?

When you get the letter in the mail, you'll know why it was denied. No one can surmise at this point as to why it was denied, we did not adjudicate the petition.

I agree with Haole, you have to give them an NSO certified birth certificate. not a regular one.

get that and send it in.

they said that any documents in a foreign language should have a certified translation. but the only such documnet was my birth certificate, since his is already in english....so our lawyer said she already sent my certified translation and she thaught it is about his b c. and then they asked for the fulll version of his divorce decree .

[Laura_Z 1]

but they did not really ask for the b c, because he had already submitted naturalisation certificate and copies of his passport. the only thing not in english my lawyer said she translated and notarized so there are no other foreign language documents. does anyone know how to fight a denial and how long it takes? thanks for all your answers everyon!

Did you receive the letter saying denied or are you still speculating?

no i did not but i have talked to people who have had the same status more than once and every time it was a denial

Still speculating. Which is why I said what I did

[Laura_Z 1]

there is nothing more i would like to hear from our lawyer, that it is not a 100% denial, but i will wait and then i will clear everyone out on what happened. at least it will be useful for others..
