Birth Certificate Issued by Indian Embassy?
Hello Friends,
I have a question here, I have applied for I-140 and now collecting documents for filing I-485. As you all know, one of the required documents for I-485 is the Birth Certificate.
I got the Affidavits from both of our (my wife and myself) regarding the birth from the Magistrate (in India). I thought since it might take a long time to get the Birth Certificates from India, I contacted the Indian Embassy at Washington D.C. and got the Birth Certificate from there.
They issued the Birth Certificate with the Indiam Emblem, Embassy of India stamp. It also includes my name, date of birth, parents name, birth place etc.
I just wanted to know whether the Birth Certificate issued by Indian Embassy and the two affidavits issued by our parents are enough to prove our birth. OR INS will expect the birth certificate from india? I dont see any reason why they might ask for birth certificate from India and not accept the Birth Certificate issued here at India Embassy.
If anyone has faced this problem earlier, can you please let me know? The birth certificate was issued by the embassy on oct 2003, they dont show any information about the registered date. But along with this birth certificate I am also submitting the affidavit from both of our parents. Please let me know whether INS will accept it?
Thanks,
Antro
