RE: DAVID ALEJANDRO PULIDO PALENCIA

I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE

IMPORTANT: THIS NOTICE CONTAINS YOUR UNIQUE NUMBER. THE ORIGINAL

NOTICE MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH THE REQUESTED EVIDENCE.

You are receiving this notice because U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires
additional evidence to process your form. Please provide the evidence requested below.

Your response must be received in this office by July 14, 2023.

Please note that you have been allotted the maximum period allowed for responding to a Request for
Evidence (RFE). The time period for responding cannot be extended. 8 CFR 103.2(b)(8)(iv). Because
many immigration benefits are time sensitive, you are encouraged to respond to this request as early as
possible, but no later than the deadline provided above. If you do not respond to this notice within the
allotted time, your case may be denied. The regulations do not provide for an extension of time to
submit the requested evidence.

You must submit all requested evidence at the same time. If you submit only some of the requested
evidence, USCIS will consider your response a request for a decision on the record. 8 CFR
103.2(b)(11).

If you submit a document in any language other than English, the document must be accompanied by a
full and complete English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is accurate and he
or she is competent to translate from that language to English. If you submit a foreign language
translation in response to this request for evidence, you must also include a copy of the foreign
language document.

Processing of your I-130 will resume upon receipt of your response. If you have not heard from
USCIS within 60 days of responding, you may contact the USCIS Contact Center (NCSC) at
1-800-375-5283. If you are hearing impaired, please call the NCSC TDD at 1-800-767-1833.

SUBMIT LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE

The short form birth certificate submitted for Denise Irma Galarza Martinez is not sufficient to
establish the petitioner’s U.S. citizenship because it does not contain all of the necessary information.

Therefore, submit a copy of the long form birth certificate for Denise Irma Galarza Martinez. The
birth certificate must:

Be registered and issued by an appropriate civil authority in the country of birth,

Show the name of the child, date and place of birth, and parent('s)’ names;
Show the doctor’s and/or/attendant's names, if applicable; and
Include date of registration, seal of the issuing office, and signature of the registrar.

SUBMIT EVIDENCE TO ESTABLISH U.S. CITIZENSHIP

If the requested long form birth certificate noted above is not available, submit evidence to establish
your U.S. citizenship. Such evidence may include, but is not limited to:

An unexpired U.S. passport or passport card (see

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html for more information);
A statement executed by a U.S. consular officer certifying the individual is a U.S. citizen and
the bearer of a currently valid U.S. passport;
The individual's Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship (signed by both the
individual and the Commissioner);
A Department of State Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United
States, or similar report of birth abroad.

SUBMIT SECONDARY EVIDENCE OF BIRTH (IF LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE

NOT AVAILABLE)

If the requested long form birth certificate is not available, you must submit the oldest secondary
evidence available . Submit as much evidence as possible. Evidence that coincides with the date of
birth is the most reliable and persuasive. This evidence may include, but is not limited to:

Medical or health records;

Church records or religious documents;
Early school records;
Insurance records;
Employment records;
Financial records;
Census or tribal records;
Government records or identification documents.

Any evidence submitted should include:

YSCI130SCOOID000024890022 2 of 5 www.uscis.gov
 The name of the child and his/her parent(s);
Dates (e.g. dates of the child’s birth, religious event, school attendance, hospital admittance,
etc.);
Stamp, seal, signature of issuing official, authorized personnel, etc.

AFFIDAVITS (IF SECONDARY EVIDENCE IS NOT AVAILABLE)

If none of the above secondary evidence is available, you must establish that such evidence is not
available by submitting evidence of non-existence. After doing so, tertiary evidence, such as
affidavits, may be submitted. However, be aware that affidavits will only be accorded minimal weight
unless they are accompanied by other independent and objective evidence that corroborates the
affiants’ statements.

Affidavits must:

Be submitted by at least two individuals who are not parties to this petition and who have
direct personal knowledge of your birth.
NOTE: USCIS will not consider a single statement signed by multiple individuals.
Each person must submit his/her own affidavit attesting to their personal knowledge
of the event.

Include:
The full name and address of the affiant;
The date and place of birth of the affiant;
The relationship between the affiant and parties to this petition;
Full information regarding the event; for example, the date and place of the birth of a
child (including both parents’ names), the date and place of marriage, divorce, death,
etc.; and
Complete details concerning how the affiant acquired knowledge of the event.

If you submit a document in any language other than English, the document must be accompanied by a
full and complete English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is accurate and
that he or she is competent to translate from that language to English. If you submit a foreign language
translation in response to this request for evidence, you must also include a complete copy of the
foreign language document.
