Success in responding to an I-130 Request for Evidence

In this case our client retained  us to respond to  a Request for Evidence (RFE) that he had received for the I-130 that was filed on his behalf by his sister. There were two issues identified in the RFE: 1. His birth registration certificate was registered more than two decades after the client’s birth. Service requested we provide the oldest documentation available that would establish a sibling relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary; and 2. The mother’s name on the birth certificate of the petitioner differed from that in USCIS records so the sibling relationship was questioned. We were able to successfully respond to the RFE by providing numerous documents verifying the record and explaining the underlying law and facts. The petition was approved after our response.

Status: The petition was approved after our response.
