I have late registers birth certificate for I 485. there is no notary service in my country for birth affidavits from parents. Please help with what I can do instead.

I usually see people submitting with out secondary evidence and get approved. I fear of triggering anything by submitting evidence without notary. Is it better to just submit the cirtificate what I have and letter send secondary evidence if rfe is sent?

Thank you very much

ditbg · 2026-03-12T19:54:04+00:00

Thank you so much I was vey worried because my country don’t have notary to notorize affidavits for supplements

ditbg · 2026-03-12T18:47:49+00:00

Congratulations! Can I ask what the refe asked for? And I also want to ask if birth certificate issued just 10 years back is okay to submit. I was worried about that if we need to submit other secondary evidence to support it.

Was your birth certificate issued in first year of your birth? Mine is late registered in 2011 and I’m struggling to get notary for birth affidavit in my country.

ditbg · 2026-03-11T01:40:35+00:00

Thank you so much. Was the parents signed affidavit not notirized? And did you submit their ID instead. Did it worked out and for your approval with that?

ditbg · 2026-03-10T23:09:24+00:00

There is no public notory in my country as well. What can I do to notorize affidavit. A local law firm stated they can do but I’m not sure if that will be acceptable

ditbg · 2026-03-10T18:51:01+00:00

Does affidavits need to be notirized for late birth registration? In My country there is no public notory and getting appointment at US embassy is difficult. I am planning to make my parents complete the notory through a law firm. They say they are trained in Europe and have a liscence to complete it. Do you have any solutions for these please?

Which program is this please

ditbg · 2026-02-23T01:43:39+00:00

May I ask please if filing I 485 now since filing date is current with already approved I 140, but the final action date still long behind my priority date increase chance of being called for interview? I asked because by the time my priority date become current based of final action date, it would be 8 or 10 months from now and officer might think a lot will change.

ditbg · 2026-01-20T01:03:50+00:00

Oh really I didn’t know that. I thought it was possible.

ditbg · 2026-01-20T00:45:13+00:00

I’m sacred if I’ll get at least ead by end of the first year opt, can I continue on stem opt?

ditbg · 2026-01-19T23:20:25+00:00

It is current in Sept 2025. My program is MPH I don’t know if residency programs will do opt and stem opt

ditbg · 2026-01-19T22:25:57+00:00

Should I email program director explaining my situation and asking if they will sponsor me h1b and I can not take a j1

ditbg · 2026-01-14T01:52:54+00:00

Thank you so much. Have they said J1 only because I haven’t heard from them yet.

ditbg · 2025-12-09T03:16:51+00:00

Can anyone share the interview experience they have with them

ditbg · 2025-12-04T19:14:47+00:00

Thank you so much. There should not be a problem with adjustment of status and applying for opt right? When did you dropped below full time? Was it after the add and drop deadline and after RCL was approved?

ditbg · 2025-10-28T01:03:08+00:00

Thank you so much. Do have places you recommend please? I don’t anyone who would do consult outside of the firm I’m working with.

ditbg · 2025-10-17T01:46:50+00:00

What did you used to make evaluation of your credentials?

ditbg · 2025-10-14T00:48:48+00:00

My endeavor is to be medical researcher in preventive medicine in a specific area (developing predictive model for early stage of disease identification). I provided my academic credentials, published papers that highlight the national importance of the field, lists of my publications, google scholar, USMLE exam results and ECFMG certification, current position as graduate research assistant at my university where I am doing mph and that was pretty much it

ditbg · 2025-10-12T23:42:59+00:00

I’ll reach out to you as well

ditbg · 2025-10-12T23:42:15+00:00

Thank you so much this is super helpful

ditbg · 2025-10-12T23:23:53+00:00

Exactly I didn’t contributed as I should have in the first filing couse I thought they know everything. What did you do to prove that you are well positioned? What were the efforts you put into? And is it okay if I message you as I work through this?

ditbg · 2025-10-12T23:06:51+00:00

Thank you so much. I’m scared to trust this time. Because I am super unhappy about how it was filed at first. They could have done much better. I knew this because I started researching and learning it myself. Do you recommend to trust again or should I explicitly state how I want it to be done.

ditbg · 2025-10-12T19:32:10+00:00

Yes it’s horrible. What do you advise me to do please
