Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

Hey guys..... so I finally got through the entire process and I'm back as an LPR! I'm still numb to be honest but I'm sure it'll start to click as I begin to do "normal" things. For those in the process stick with it and give yourself a chance. It is worth it!

OMG!OMG! I know all this will be worth it at the end. So happy for you. For people who are on the fence, don't sit around and wait for Congress to do anything.

Congrats! How long were you out of the country for the interview?

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

OMG!! that is sweet!! Congratulations!

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

Thanks guys/gals..... I'm pretty pumped right now as you can imagine. Every country is going to be different but for my country a medical and a police report (lol....for a country I haven't been since I was a boy. I was worried the report would say there is no record of my existence) were required. Medical took two weeks and they said "upon approval" my package would be ready in 10 days so I was away for about a month.

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

So you had to do the medical there?

Re: Official I-601A Thread
 

Yes..... that was the requirement and they were specific about the hospitals that were approved to perform the medical.

HELP!

Hey guys, so I am still in the early stages of my process. My I-130 was received on 10/30/2017 and about 2 weeks ago my wife and I received a letter requesting more documents. She was born in Puerto Rico and they werent satisfied with the birth certificate copy we submitted. Below is what they said:

"You submitted a copy of the Abstract Certification of Birth of WIFE'S NAME. However, an Abstract Certification of Birth is insufficient evidence to establish proof that the claimed relationship exists and it's also insufficient to establish U.S. citizenship for immigration purposes. The required documentation is a registered civil authority issued birth certificate that contains the name of the child, date and place of birth, full name of parent(s), doctor/attendant's name, hospital name, registrar's signature and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office.

If the birth certificate is not available, submit the oldest evidence to establish that WIFE'S MOM and WIFE'S DAD are the parents of WIFE'S NAME. Submit as much evidence as possible. Evidence may include, but is not limited to"

I am just confused as to why she would need to proof a relationship to her mom and dad. She was born here. Can someone help? Anyone has seen this before?
