Dear friends:
I am a CSPA late arriving dependent and I have sent my application to
Philadelphia INS in Aug. 1993. Yestody, I received a letter from district
director that they asked me to send a copy of Notarial Certificate of
Birth issued at a notarial office in China with jurisdiction over my
country of previous residence as well as Marriage Certificate within 12
weeks. Otherwise, failed. I  to do so will result in the denial of my application.

Last year, I have tried for these documents but failed. I don's know what
shall I do. I like to know if we be allowed to use secondary evidence. I
hope to get your help. Thank you for your time.

Duan

Because it is not a CSPA case, probably secondary evidence is not enough.
I know a friend obtained these kinds of documents by
(1)	write to Consulate General of China.  They will instruct you what
you should do.
(2)	send documents certified by Chinse Consulate to the local city/county
notary office in China.  They will do it.

Good luck.
