Our contact at Buffalo CIS has asked us to pass that they are getting caught behind because of G884 frms being sent in without everything needed. Same goes for any inquiries they receive via e-mail. Please click on more for some reminders.
Starting Monday 8/25/2008 I will be returning ALL incomplete G-884 requests I receive.
From Buffalo CIS:
G-884 submissions:
The form must be completed and signed.
Notarized OR signed in front of an USCIS officer.
Two forms of photo identification from the parent submitting /signing G-884 must be attached. (ie.Copies of driver’s license & Pass port).
One document showing the relationship between the adopting parent(s) and the child (possible birth record/certificate).
Emails sent for instructions or inquiries MUST have the child’s registration number. (This is the quickest and easiest way for me to locate the file).

We recently submitted an 884 and thought we had done it right. We took it to our regional office, and the officer there signed it in lieu of a notary and forwarded it directly to Buffalo. She told us we did not need to send in the copy of our ID or the US adoption decree we brought with us. A week or so later, someone from Buffalo left us a message stating they needed it, so I'd suggest to anyone else doing this to tell your local CIS bureau to enclose your documents with the form.

Thank you.
No Kristie,
They just need to be notarized. Banks always have a notary on duty.

Hello,
I need to know if we can send a copy of our CoC in lieu of the birth certificate as we don't have an english version-yet...agency snafu.
Also, what is the registration number and where do we find it?
Thanks,
kristin
