I plan to file I-485. I do not have the birth certificate and plan to get one from the consulate general of India in NY.

Is this OK?

Short answer. No.
The birth certificate from the consulate is useless. It just states the obvious.

It clearly mentions that the certificate is issued based on the entry in passport. No checking, validation of any kind is done prior to issuing it. So it is not acceptable for immigration purposes.

You have to get the certificate from local muncipality in your village/town/city.
