Birth Certificate

[beemboy]

Thanks Jayant

[arrarrgee]

I got my Birth certificate from the municipality recently.. It is mentioned clearly in the certificate that the date as per the municipal records is so and so...
Is it mandatory for me to submit an affidavit since the birth certificate was not issued during the time of my birth? If thats the case..then it makes no sense as why would i have to do it....its not an income certificate wheere in changes occur every year...its a birth certificate..... well again nothing in the immigration process appears rational to me ..so thought y not take a second opinion before i consult my attorney (who is so freaking busy..i think twice if not thrice to mail her ne Qs)

Thanks in Advance

What matters is the date of registration. If it's within a year of birth it's fine. Your BC will clearly say the date of registration. If it's more than a year of birth it's better to get affidavits from parents (separate affidavit from each parent) or from close blood relatives. The format should be in one of the threads.

I know it doesn't make sense but please do it. From what I've read so far affidavits are NOT required if (1) full names of parents mentioned (2) Baby name mentioned (3) registration done within a year. I have to get affidavits for my wife since her BC didn't metion parent's full names.

HTH.

The BC for me and my wife also had a registration date of 2006 and so does lot of my friends. My lawyer said no need for affidavit now as there only a sloght chance of RFE on it and if comes than we can provide affidavits. This is the format i got from lawyer specificallky for late date of registration.

AFFIDAVIT OF BIRTH

I, (name of deponent), being duly sworn, depose and say:

1. That I am a native of (country). My date of birth is (give date of birth). My present address is (give present address). I am a (permanent resident/citizen of (specify country of citizenship/residence). (If a permanent resident, state alien number. If naturalized citizen, give naturalization certificate number and date of naturalization).

2. I am the (specify relationship, for example, cousin) of (name of subject).

3. (Name of subject) was born on (date of birth) to mother (name of mother) and father (name of father), who were married to each other at the time. He was born in (give complete information regarding place of birth (city/province/state/country).

4. To my knowledge (name of subject)’s birth was not recorded by any government agency or religious group at the time of birth.

5. I am personally familiar with the facts of the birth of (name of subject) because (specify how you came to have knowledge of the facts of subject’s birth, for example, if you were present at the birth or told of the birth by subject’s family).

Signature:_______________________________ Date: ______________________

The affidavit should be sworn before a notary public or attested before an official or attorney in order to be valid for INS purposes.

However i have I-20 from US school which states DOB and place of birth and may work as secondary evidence. The bootom line as per the lawyer wait and see and if you get RFE than do it.

Not such a bright idea. What's the point in wating to see if you are going to get a RFE? Getting an affidavit should be extremely easy and stratightforward. An RFE only helps in delaying the adjuication time so even if there is 0.01% doubt, you ought to cover your bases. Just my humble opinion...

Thanks,

Agree if you can get the affidavit do it but i would not delay the filing for it. Getting affidavit from India fro me may take 2 weeks.

My company attorney is not asking for a Non Availability Certificate for my wife. We have affidavits from her parents..and attorney thinks that is sufficient.

Anyone with similar experiences?

[factpandit]

I guess many of us have the same problem - Birth Certificates (BCs).

Well, Here is my case:
----------------------

My Problems:
------------
1. I don't have a BC but my year of birth (YOB) is 1969
2. My wife too doesn't have any BC, but her YOB is later to 1969.
3. My kids have BCs but, as parents our names don't have full last names.

Here is what I did:
-----------------
1. Since my YOB is 1969, I asked my parents give an affidavit in english saying that I am their son with following details:

My Parents Full Names (first name middle names and last name)
My Full Name (first name middle names and last name)
My Date of birt in nuemarical format as well as in english (In India we use dd/mm/yyyy format and in US the format is mm/dd/yyyy.

Place of Birth

I also asked my parents for BC Non-Availability certificate as my YOB is 1969.

2. My wife's case is different:

We asked her parents to get BC.

3. We wrote up separate affidavits for each of my kids on a regular A4 paper by using similar format as that of the one I requested from my parents and got them noterized (We took our Paspports to the notary here for proof)

Here is the outcome:
--------------------
1. It took almost 8 days for my parents to get hold of person in the concerned office and get the Non-availabiliyty. Affidavit is just a day (actually night) job. They got the affidavit on a 10Rs/- stamp paper. They did fax both documents (BC Non-availability + Affidavit) to me.

2. In my wife's case it took 12 days to get the BC. It is mandatory for her to have a BC as her YOB is after 1969. We included her 10th class certificate as supporting document as the BC is registered only few days ago. They scanned the document (better quality compared to my case) and sent it to me.

3. My kids case is pretty easy just a days job.

Hope this might be helpful to some one.

PS: I heard every rigistrar of Births and Deaths in every village/town/city is now planning to build house and every one of them is also planning to name his/her hous as "Birth Bhavan". Can anybody guess why?

I think my birth certificate would be an issue. Getting the affidavit would take a lot of time.

Somebody told me I can get it from the Consulate also. Is the birth certificate from Indian Consulate valid for I-485?

Please let me know.

Thanks

please advice on this. whether there will be a query or it can be staright way rejected. is there pssibility to change passport record because it is wrong.

[yogi13]

I read in the forum somewhere that we need to provide "TWO sworn affidavits from parents" (one from mother & one from father) if the birth was NOT registered within one year of the event, or if significant information such as father's name or mother's name are missing from the form.

I am confused whether we need one copy of affidavit signed by both parents or seperate signed by individual parent. I have researched the web for sample affidavits and found various types. That further confused me. Can anyone provide me with a sample affidavit?

Thanks.

Passport records can be changed anytime. It comes under Miscellaneous Services of the Consular Section of the Indian Embassy. Such services are typically processed in 1-2 days so long as you have the correct supporting documents.

Either is acceptable, but a safer route is to get separate affidavits.
