核对依据

USCIS does not issue documents with a blank sex field.查看对应正文适用对象
该政策适用于福利请求人：若请求人在福利请求上填写的性别与出生时或出生前后签发的出生证明冲突，该局以出生证明为准，但在依赖次要证据可能更合适时除外。
核对依据
where there is a conflict between what the benefit requestor indicates as his or her sex on the benefit request and the birth certificate issued at or near the time of birth, USCIS considers the birth certificate to be controlling, except when relying on secondary evidence may be more appropriate.查看对应正文条件与例外
该局将个人性别视为出生时或出生前后签发的出生证明通常所证明的性别；若该出生证明缺失或所载性别不是男或女，该局将依据次要证据确定性别。
核对依据
USCIS considers a person’s sex to be that which is generally evidenced on the birth certificate issued at the time of birth or issued near the time of birth. Where the birth certificate that was issued at or near the time of birth is missing or indicates a sex other than male or female, USCIS will base the determination of sex on secondary evidence.查看对应正文该局不会仅因请求人未选择男或女、或未填写与出生证明（或适当情况下的次要证据）一致的性别而拒绝福利。
核对依据
USCIS will not deny benefits solely based on a failure to select male or female or a failure to indicate a sex consistent with the birth certificate, or secondary evidence where appropriate.查看对应正文若该局签发的文件所载性别与请求人在请求中填写的性别不同，该局可向福利请求人发出通知。
核对依据
USCIS may provide notice to benefit requestors if USCIS issues a document reflecting a sex different than that indicated by the benefit requestor on the request.查看对应正文主要变更
