QUESTION
What is the best I can do to respond to this RFE for sibling I-130 case?
Asked on Jul 02nd, 2014 on Immigration - New York
More details to this question:
I submitted I-130 for my brother and I have received an RFE saying that my birth certificate shows that the birth was registered 18 years after the actual birth event. The document submitted as evidence of relationship was executed so long ago that it is insufficient for reliability and I should provide additional documentary evidence. It asks for the oldest evidence that establishes that [my dad] and [my mom] are the parents of petitioner [me]. It also asks for optional DNA test to prove the relationship. I do not have enough documentation proof other than providing affidavit from my dad and mom's relatives.

If you cannot do the DNA test then you need to find your early life records. This can include hospital, school, civil, or church records.

You are required to prove your relationship. There are numerous ways to do this in addition to the list of documents requested by the USCIS. If you do not meet the burden and the application is denied you will lose the priority date, so ideally work with a professional to assist you with filing a good response.

A request for further evidence is indication of some deficiency in the application. Often times, your response may further complicate things thus resulting in denial of the petition. You should carefully consider whether you will not be better served by hiring a competent professional.
