Birth Certificate

[wisetiger]

For those that have completed the AOS I-485 did you make your own copies of the birth certificate book (from China) or submit the actual 4 page book?

 

Lori had several copies made in China so we can afford to give one up but I'm curious if it is necessary or not.

From a slip I got from BCIS (which came with my package for doing the AOS)

 

"The Immigration and Naturalization Service has changed the policy requiring submission of original documents or certified copies of documents with applications and petitions.

 

You may now submit ordinary legible photocopies of the original documents required, including Naturalization Certificates and Alien Registration Cards. Please submit copies of both sides of documents. You may be required to present the original documents during any subsequent contacts with the Service.

 

The following statement must be signed and dated by either the applicant, the petitioner, or the attorney, and submitted with each petition and/or application. "

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

" Copies of documents submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered original documents and I understand that I may be required to submit original documents to an Immigration or Consular official at a later date."

Dave,

 

When we sent I-485 Ella had an extra copy copy of her birth certificate so we sent it in.
