Birth Certificate Related

[makmohan]

Dear Friends,

Anyone to help me with my questions regd birth certificate?

Answer A) I have a similar problem with my father's name. Here is the affidavit I prepared and got approved from my lawyer. http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/showth...2243#post12243

Answer B) My lawyer suggested that if there is any significant information missing from your birth certificate like name, place of birth etc, it is better to get affidavits from your parents along with the other proofs like school leaving certificate etc to determine your birth.

I hope this helps. All the best.

Thanks for setting up this thread!

A) My wife's mother's name in spelled differently in my wife's passport and birth-certificate. (passport: *nee* vs birthcertifate: *ni*). Birth was registered late and has - registration no: LATE REGISTRATION and Date of Registration: XX/YY/2009.

Would she need an affidavit from her parents with correct names? If yes, we can use the format that surely is posted in the thread somewhere. I read somewhere that late registration is not accepted. What are the substitute documents for that?

B) Another question regarding my birth certificate:
As per general custom, no name was given to me when i was born and when birth was registered. Hence, my birth certificate has no name. It says that a baby was born to X and Y with important details like sex, dob, parents' names etc.

Later on officials issued another authorized document linking my name and my birth certificate saying that:

The name ******My Name******** of the child is verified by ***these documents***, Birth Date ****, Registration No ***** and registration date *** issued by XYZ Municipal Corporation.

Is it sufficient or will it cause any issues? in case of issues I can get affidavit from my parents.

Any help is appreciate.

A. As I said just a few posts back, I've seen mentioned in the forums that if the BC registration date is 1 year later than the actual birth-date, you'll need to submit affidavits from parents explaining why birth was registered late. Read through this thread and you'll find some more discussion on this. I did not see this requirements listed anywhere in the official guidelines. And one of my friends who became current on Nov 1 got his birth registered only recently and even in his case, the lawyers didn't ask him to submit affidavits. Please talk to your lawyer and do what (s)he says.

B. I recommend getting your name added to your BC. As you already have some certificate from your municipality that certifies that the BC belongs to you, hopefully, it'll be easy to use this certificate and get the BC updated with your name. Again, talk to your lawyer and ask for their opinion. Maybe he thinks that the certificate from municipality is sufficient along with your BC.

Good luck.

Gurus,

Do I need to get NOC(No record found) before I get the affidavits?

Hi All, I'm in EB2 category with Priority date 23-FEB-2009.

I've question regarding my birth certificate. Basically we did not have my birth certificate at all (It probably was not mandetory in the part of India where I was born).
My mom did an affidavit in 2007 in standard template stating that I'm her son and I was born so-&-so date at so-&-so place. This affidavit is on a 100 Rupee stamp-paper and endorsed by notary in India.

My question is -- Is this birth affidavit enough during filing for I-485 ? Or do I need to produce any other document related to birth proof ?

Please help with this question, please.

Regards.

Friends,
I am current as of Jan 2012. I got my birth certificate in 2007 and my wife got her birth certificate in 2005 (both were registered late).

I am planning to get affidavit from my parents and in-laws in India.

Should I also get affidavit from my uncle and aunt? Please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

[nishant2200]

I think parents and in laws is sufficient, for both of you each.

Here's what my lawyer says. He says do not submit with initial filing, keep it simple, do not complicate. If there is RFE and they ask for it, at that time, they very specifically mention what they want, and then you can supply if needed. He has taken the affidavits from me, and appreciated I got them done in advance, but did not submit them.

My wife's parent's name in her Birth Certificate don't match with her passport. Only the first name matches.
Birth certificate has only First and Middle Names.
Her passport has First, Middle and Last name.
Mother's middle name is different from passport.

If I provide affidavits from her parents stating all the details, will that be sufficient?

aaron, this is the situation I had:
- Our last names were listed as initial only
- Spelling mistake in father's first name
- My mother's name was listed as: last name initial, first name, followed by dad's first name. In our passports, every name is listed as first name, last name.

In this situation, my lawyer asked for affidavits from my parents listing the corrections. I think affidavits along with copies of your parents' passports should suffice, but please check with your lawyer.

I’ve a question. We couldn’t find my wife’s birth certificate. So her parents tried to get a certificate from her native town. Here are the issues they are having
1) The certificate they can give is only in Local language (Marathi).
2) On the birth certificate there are two different names mentioned for her father ABC alias XYZ.
3) Also, on the birth certificate it will be mentioned that a girl baby is born. Her name won’t be mentioned, apparently since the name is decided later on that’s how the birth certificate was made.

Yes, we’ll make an affidavit but will 2) or 3) cause a big issue? Any resolutions that anyone can think of?
Thanks

Greetings and congratulation to all who have become current also wish others good luck.
I have become current now (11/18/09). I was born at home so no birth certificates. My mother always used two different names for herself. So when i applied for passport i have name A listed as mother's name. However, i asked my father to get a birth certificate for me, when inquired, the municipal will only issue a birth certificate with name B as it's listed in the ration card right now.
What should i do?. Get a birth certificate with name B listed as mother and get an affidavit from my parents as well.
Thanks a lot.

[ThatIsAll]

Thanx, TT..did anyone have issue with birth certificate not having the name but having just information that it is baby boy or baby girl? as mentioned in my post

ThatIsAll,

No problem if it is in Marathi. You need to get an exact translation done and then get this translation certified.


Thanks,

[SIII140]

Thanks for your replies Vizcard, Thatisall, EB2Jun08.

@Thatisall: I have the same situation as yours, no name on the birth certificate.I asked my lawyer and she said I'd need affidavits of birth from my parents.

@EB22008, could you please let me know what information was provided for SII I-140 to prove employer's ability to pay?I can show my W-2s to demonstrate the ability to pay.Isn't that enough?Its embarrassing to ask my company to submit Fed Tax returns everytime.Its confidential info and they'd rather keep it to themselves.

@Vizcard: You are right, TB must be treated.

Can someone answer suninphx's question. I also have the same question, is it only for informational purpose or will we be required to furnish some document from that city. I have been in US for 7 years and was in different cities for few months or so in India prior to that. The place where i lived for 1 year goes close to 10 years back and have no contacts there to get any certificates.

Why these guys need last residence of one year out side of United States in G-325 form? So for my friend who lived in Australia for oct 05 - nov 07 and then 4 months in India before coming to US he should provide Australia address I believe? Are they going ask him to obtain police Clarence report from Australia? ( He is going to ask his lawyer but that will be on Monday so thought of asking here quickly. Will remove post soon.)

Question about birth certificate affidavit:

What value stamp paper to be used (is Rs100/- good enough)?
Does this needs to be registered? or just notarized (through a lawyer )?

Thanks.

[mesan123]

I am in same situation, My Birth certificate has my town as my birthplace. where as my passport has the district name as birthplace. i tried to change it when i had to renew my passport but the indian embassy in NY told me they need Court order. when i contacted my lawyer he asked me whether my district name is there in BC, i informed like it is as town,district,state, and country. he informed me that should be fine...but in few forms i see that is problem....i dont know how to resolve it... i have time with me as my priority date is 2011. so wanted to know my options

Nope, I didn't initiate the process of getting court order. This is the last note that I got from my Paralegal on this:


So, we are submitting my wife's birth-certificate with the Place of Birth inconsistency. They did ask me to get the spelling mistake on her BC fixed which we got done. They were not too worried about the Place of Birth inconsistency. And, I'm going with my lawyers suggestion.

For i485 filing, do we need to provide notarized documents?

[veni001]

For i485 filing, do we need to provide notarized documents?

Nope, just copies is fine.

[vizcard]

For i485 filing, do we need to provide notarized documents?

Nope, just copies is fine.

Caveat being affidavits from India (if applicable). I had them notarized by a lawyer there with my parents signatures.

[medatom]

I posted this in the I485 related forum however didn't get any response. Mods please move this if necessary. Thanks for any help.

What bond paper was used? was it Rs100 or more?

[tendlya]

For Birth Certificate Affidavits what bond paper to use? Rs 20? Rs 100?

[GCKnowHow]

For Birth Certificate Affidavits what bond paper to use? Rs 20? Rs 100?

What bond paper was used? was it Rs100 or more?

Per my attorney value of stamp paper doesn't matter any value is okay. Just get it notarized (Attested).

[Kanmani]

Yes, the value of stamp paper doesn't matter.

I gathered information and found that most commonly used among BC affidavit is Rs.20 . People have taken affidavits in lesser value stamp papers too.
