Can I get Birth Certificate from Indian Consulate, Washington DC.
Can I use this certificate for filing 485. Please help
 
Technically

.. yes you can, I have seen cases. In my case, my lawyer was very specific about getting it from India. The birth certificate we get from Indian consulate says, DOB is so and so as per your passport, so it not a very good doc.
 
For 485 filing, if you need one...

You have to get it from India, form your place of birth. If your name is not written in the BC (some of the original BCs are) you need to get affidavit from your parents or blood relatives. Talk to your lawyer regarding this. Note that your parent\'s names must be included in your BC.

No Title

I used the BC from the Indian consulate and got approved. I beleive if you were born before 1970 or so the consulate BC will be accepted. However I did get certificates from India just in case, but they were not required in my case.
 
If you don\'t want to take a chance get it from India

Get Birth Affidavits from your parents or relatives. It is lot easier I think than getting it from D.C.

Good Luck.
