Q: Uscis officer is requesting for my stepchildren's birth certificate in order to approve my citizenship.
my stepchildren were born and are living in a foreign country. I don't have access to their personal documents. what are my options?
A: Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your question it is difficult to give you a beneficial answer without asking you some questions and getting the background on your case. At the very least it appears that you will need to provide the documents to Immigration that they requested or accept the fact that your case will be denied. However, based on your difficulty in obtaining the requested documents, I would highly recommend that you consult with an immigration attorney to explore your options as soon as possible. Best of luck to you.
