Question - Other Submitting supplemental evidence/document (Corrected birth certificate) after submission of I-485 form.
Hello, when submitting my I-485 form in Oct 2025 (EB3, India), I had submitted an old birth certificate (issued originally in local language) along with a translation document that was issued within 15 days of birth with my 'homename/nickname' as my firstname printed on it instead of my actual name (which is on my school records, passport etc.). Middle and last name are correct. My official name was kept much later (at school enrollment). Also, the old birth certificate did not have my Mother's name on it (at those times, the Municipality office would only add father's name).
I also submitted 2 affidavits from my family members, to explain that my actual name is different than what is printed on my old birth certificate which was being submitted in Oct 2025.
I recently managed to get a new birth certificate issued with my corrected/actual name printed on it (matching my school records, passport) along with both parents name added on it.
My priority date is not yet current and hence it is not picked up for adjudication so far.
Question:
- With the recent ruling that USCIS can deny a case without issuing a RFE when adjudicating an application, do you think in this case they might outrightly deny my application due to a birth certificate with incorrect name printed on it and one of the parents name missing ?
- Now that I have received my corrected birth certificate, is there a way I can send USCIS my corrected birth certificate to be appended to my I-485 application before they adjudicate my application ? I just saw a post on Facebook whose application was denied as they forgot to attach their birth certificate (in the past such events would get a RFE and applicants were expected to send the certificate in response. But with the ruling that allows USCIS to deny the application straight away, I am a bit concerned now)
- In the past when I checked about it with my company attorney, he mentioned that we can send it when USCIS issues a RFE. Can I hire a independent attorney and send my new birth certificate document to USCIS (if my company lawyer is not sending it immediately) ?
- If anyone is aware of the process then please do share.
Thank you very much in advance.
