485 RFE- Birth Certificae w/ Father and Mothers name needed- Need help

[engineer]

I am at AOS stage with approved I140, EAD and AP. My PD is Nov 2005 and I am in ROW.

I got following RFE.

My original birth certificate doesnot show the name of my mother as local laws in my country don't put mother's name on birth certificate.

My questions:
1. How should I answer RFE ?
2. Who should sign Affidavits ? My parents, grand parents , relatives etc ?
3. Can anyone send me format of Affidavit please

I will appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Sumbit the following evidence to verify the birth and parentage of [name]

A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Local Registrar if the person named above was born in a

city, or

A photocopy of a birth certificate issued by the Additional Disctrict Registrar's Office if the person

named above was born in a village.

If a birth certificate doesnot list the names of both mother and father, or the child, secondary evidence

must be submitted to establish parentage. Secondary evidence includes , but is not limited to , copies of:

medical recors, government-issued identity cards, religious records and/or affidavist from atleast two

persons alive at the time of birth. The oldest available evidence thats lists the names of both parents

should be submitted.

I got exact query.

All you need is Affidavits from you Father, Mother and any other close relative. Ask them to go to your local court house. There will be people sitting there who do prepare affidavits and notarize them. They need to do it on 10 Rupees stamp paper and get it notarized. They shall have the date of birth affidavit template at court house.

Once they have them, ask them to scan and send them to you to save time. Also ask them to DHL the originals so that you could recieve in 2 or 3days.

Are you sure that it needs to be done on stamp paper? I just notarized them from India on plain paper.

As soon as USCIS recieved my response documents my case status changed to resumed.

My attorney suggested me to get it notarized on stamp paper as it would look more genunie. It may not be mandatory but as it say Govt of India on stamp paper it would look little genunie.

I got a similar RFE, except I have been asked to provide government documentation stating why mother's name is absent in birth certificate. Can anybody help on what type of government document can I obtain? Getting a new BC won't be possible, as my parents are currently in the US, and would return after the RFE response deadline. Can I get a court order regarding this effect? Any template would help.

Thanks.

Much easier for you , get them to sign an affidavit here and notarize it and submit it, also get an affidavit from some of your relatives back in your home country as additional evidence and submit them. Any documentation which basically establishes their relationship to you and an affidavit completing the circle would be acceptable

Thanks for your reply. I am getting the affidavits from my parents, as well as from blood relatives. However, I have been also asked to provide government document stating why mother's name is absent on birth certificate. I am trying to figure out any government law (currently checking births and deaths act of 1969), which can state that name of head-of-household is sufficient for birth certificates. My birth certificate also mentions the Births and Deaths Rules of 1972 of West Bengal, however, I can't locate an online document. If I have to get a statement from court, does anybody have any idea about what would be the template?

Thanks.

This is a trickier one. I guess it could be a simple omission on the part of the hospital or municipal authorities. It sucks. May be you can get some kind of 'letter' from the hospital where you were born that it was an omission on their part. You may also apply to the municipal administration to issue you a fresh certificate having both your parents names in the certificate / issue you a letter stating that the name was not furnished by the hospital or not recorded in their records. I am not sure if any of the fellow IVians faced such an issue.

check if you do something like this. There should be a way out
