AOS for Mother - Consulate BC and NAC - some questions

[vidyap7]

Hi,

I'm applying for GC for my mother who's in USA. She does not have her birth certificate. I read some folks here have applied to the Consulate of India and received the BC and Non-Availbility Certificate. In the application form for this, it says to send in a letter detailing why you need the information. What did you give as the reason? I will be mailing the form to NY. (I will be getting affidavits too.)

Another question: How long will it take to get these two certificates? Should I apply for police clearance certificate along with these two? If so, will the passport be with them until the clearance is received which could be 6-8 weeks? The reason I'm concerned is she wants to go to my sister's place in March and she'll need the passport as ID for air-travel. Also, for her medical exam she'll need the passport too. Do they always ask for police clearance or is it only sometimes, hence I should wait to get that only if needed?

Thanks so much for the wealth of information everyone is providing on this forum.

She does not need a Police Clearence certificate, it is required only when you do a CP in India,
You need to contact the local municipal office in india, they will Issue her a Non Availability of Birth Cerificate , It is given On Form 10. Make sure you get it. Along with it get 2 affidavits from people whi are older to you mother, Like Her brother or sister conforming her DOB. and You need affidavit for her marriage too, if she does not have a Marriage certificate.
Forget about Indian Counsilate in USA, Non of the BC issued by them are having any Kind of Good weight, waste of money and time.
I am telling you all this because i just did this process.
