Copy of birth certificate - did not include the back which was blank
Hello all 
I'm anxious all of a sudden, my fiancé, the USC, hasn't made a copy of the back of his birth certificate as it was blank.
Should we expect a RFE for that?
Should we try to send it now separately?
(we don't have a case number yet - CSC has been slow on cashing the checks lately)
Thank you

I don't know if you'll get an RFE for it or not, you'll just have to wait and see. My layman's opinion is probably not.

S,
Yes, he has. Turn over the original. Turn over the photocopy of the front of the original. See? A perfect copy of the back as well.
I can't believe you're asking if you should try sending CIS a blank sheet of paper.

Jeff,
So nicely put.
We weren't about to send a blank paper to the USCIS without a good deal of explanation.
What I've read here and there is people making a photocopy of the back even if it's blank and writing on it "back of the birth certificate". Might sound silly but so is administration sometimes and in regard of what Rene added, maybe not so silly after all.
So thank you Rene
Guess we'll just have to wait&see and hope for the best!
Take care

S,
Rather than waste a perfectly good sheet of paper, write on the back of the photocopy 'this side blank on the original'.
It may not be a lot of money, but I do have to chuckle at the thought of someone paying a dime or a quarter to run a blank piece of paper through a photocopier and have it come out still blank just to be able to say, 'this is a photocopy'.
I don't think you'll be getting an RFE over this.

J,
too late for that now as we sent it already, but very good suggestion for the next nerve wreck who might come up with this particular question.
Chuckles indeed on the photocopying of a blank page, would certainly make a nice Mr Bean sketch!
