Hi Raju and others,
I have obtained my Birth-NAC and Parents' Affidavits.
I however, have noticed a few discrepancies which I would like to get your advice on:
Birth NAC:
I got my NAC from Calcutta Municipal Corporation, which basically gave the following info in the NAC:
"A search has been made..... for the year xx/xx/xxxx...."
So, basically, instead of entering a year, they entered the exact birthdate in the entry for the "birth-year". When my father approached them again with this issue, they said they only enter the specific birth-date in that field, not the entire year. As reason, they say, that since the data is in physical record-books, they cannot search for the whole year; they search for entries corresponding to the specified birth-date, and therefore enter that specific date (and not the entire year) in the NAC. Do you see any problem with this?
{This should not be a problem}
Birth Affidavit:
The birth Affidavits I got from my parents DOES NOT include the following line:
"I hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of USA that the forgoing is true and correct". The reason given by the lawyer was that when you are swearing in an Indian Court, you cannot owe allegiance to US laws, you have to owe allegiance to the Indian Laws. And typically Indian Court does not require you to "declare under penalty of perjury". Can you please say if the above line is mandatory. If not mandatory, what could be a suitable alternative line, when sworn in an Indian Court.
{This is only a self affidavit executed before a notary, and not sworn
in a court.
So, you don't even need a lawyer's assistence in preparing this. Just
type the proforma, take it to a notary public and sign in his presence}
Thanks
Sanjay
