what do you think the follows?

2) Submitting secondary evidence and affidavits.

(i) General. The non-existence or other unavailability of required evidence
creates a presumption of ineligibility. If a required document, such as a
birth or marriage certificate, does not exist or cannot be obtained, an
applicant or petitioner must demonstrate this and submit secondary evidence,
such as church or school records, pertinent to the facts at issue. If
secondary evidence also does not exist or cannot be obtained, the applicant
or petitioner must demonstrate the unavailability of both the required
document and relevant secondary evidence, and submit two or more affidavits,
sworn to or affirmed by persons who are not parties to the petition who have
direct personal knowledge of the event and circumstances. Secondary evidence
must overcome the unavailability of primary evidence, and affidavits must
overcome the unavailability of both primary and secondary evidence.

(ii) Demonstrating that a record is not available. Where a record does not
exist, the applicant or petitioner must submit an original written statement
on government letterhead establishing this from the relevant government or
other authority. The statement must indicate the reason the record does not
exist, and indicate whether similar records for the time and place are
available. However, a certification from an appropriate foreign government t
hat a document does not exist is not required where the Department of
State's Foreign Affairs Manual indicates this type of document generally
does not exist. An applicant or petitioner who has not been able to acquire
the necessary document or statement from the relevant foreign authority may
submit evidence that repeated good faith attempts were made to obtain the
required document or statement. However, where the Service finds that such
documents or statements are generally available, it may require that the
applicant or petitioner submit the required document or statement."
