Thanks for the forum, the info here is so useful.

But one additonal thing i wanted to confirm from the forum.

My case:
Birth Certificate with no name on it.

solution:
getting a new affidavit from both parents.

issue:
should i get non-availbalilty certificate too? since i have a birth
certificate but no name on it.

I need to submit my I140/485 in the next couple of days...
any info at the earliest will be of immense help.

You already have a birth certificate, you cannot get a non-availability certificate.
The nameless birth certificate ( it should have names of your parents) along with affidavits should be sufficient.
 
Mine is Also Nameless Certificate with parents name on it

Hi,
I have submitted birth certificate with no name(my name) on it
for my i485. But it has my parents name on it.

Will i get any RFE on my Birth Certficate. ]

Now i am preparing new certificte wiht my name.

Thx

VG - not sure which country u originally are from, but in most Indian Subcontinent countries, u can "collaborate" with the BC issuing officer and he would include ur name as u wish. Suggest u ask someone in your hometown to get a new BC with your name on it even if it costs a little.

It is better to submit vanilla flavor documents to INS (oops BCIS) as anything other than ordinary is surely hard for them to comprehend, which may lead to RFE.

My 2 cents worth.

thanks for responding.

after weighing different options, submitting two affidavits from
parents along with the original Birth certificate.

Hi Atlantabhopali,
I am from India.

I don't understand what is Vanilla flavour document.

Thx
 
sank,

What you have to do is take some Vanilla extract and spray it liberally on a couple of specific documents, that way the INS/BCIS officer going through your case, has options to eat your paper work if he is feeling hungry and doesn't need to step out for lunch. Which will increase his productivity and improve the chances of you getting a green card.
 
You need affidavits if BC is issued recently

Vermot_Goldie,
I think what you are doing is right.
I heard that even if you get BC with your name on it, if it has
recent date on it then you need two affidavits.I am not sure what
exactly recent means. Any corrections are welcome.
So spending money and getting new BC with name on it is as good as
what you already have (BC without name) for green card purpose.

Thanks

The phrase 'Vanilla' or 'plain vanilla' is a figure of speech.
Refers to any thing plain without any frills.

Here it means document as called by the INS.
 
Sank - As Raju595 correctly pointed out, I meant "standard documents" with no anomalies or out of ordinary formats/info/missing info. Pretty much standard stuff that INS sees in most cases. Anything out of ordinary, and they tend to get confused or suspicious or God knows what..

just my 2 cents..

Indian Consulate Issued BC

Has anyone tried using the Birth Certificate issued by the Indian Consulate in US?
My wife doesn't have a birth certificate- affidavit with both parents not possible as one parent is desceased.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
arbee,

Let your wife obtain the birth affidavit from the remaining parent.

I think there is lot of confusion about the number of affidavits.

One affidavit in combination with the non-availability certificate is
good enough. ( In combination with a birth certificate where the
name of the child is not mentioned).

When taking the birth affidavit make sure that:

a) Your wife's name is mentioned as she referrs to it now, with
the maiden name in brackets.

Ex: Priyanka Vadhera ( Maiden name: Priyanka Gandhi).

b) Depending on the parent who is giving the affidavit:

(i) Name of the father is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

(ii) Name of the mother is xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

c) When the mother's name is mentioned make sure HER
maiden name appears in brackets:


Ex:

(i) I, Priyanka Vadhera ( Maiden name: Priyanka Gandhi)
here by..........

(ii) The mother's name is Priyanka Vadhera ( Maiden name
Priyanka Gandhi).


Hope this helps.

Raju595, thanks

This was really helpful information.

I will try to get the affidavit made.

I also read on this forum that the Indian Consulate issued birth certificate is useless and not accepted by BCIS- so affidavit is the only solution.

Thanks again.
 
AT times i hv seen posts where birth certificate from indian consulte has been accepted by INS. there was one approval in NJ through interview recently where the interviewer told that if u do't hv offical BC then we tell u to get from consulate. I hv seen approvals from east cost mostly with consulte BC not on West.
