As I mentioned earlier of my postings we got our passports within one week (8th Aug) after our citizenship interview on aug 1st whereas my kid’s passport got stuck, I was little worried what could be reasons it was holding, last Wednesday (13th August) I got a letter from Passport office stating that, they wont accept the birth certificate which I sent along with the child passport application form. I was wondered why? It was original birth certificate and the same certificate I used it for when I applied for kid’s green card. I thought my child born in a small village and that time Gram Panchayat issued a birth certificate in A4 size paper ( if you look at that it does not look like a birth certificate but the way it will be issued there). Then I called Passport center and spoke to one lady on Thursday (14th) I explained about the Birth Certificate and I told her I live close to DC can I directly go and speak to someone there, she said, okay that is better. I rushed immediately to Washington Passport office without any appointment. I was allowed and went to a counter and got the number. I was called within 20 minutes, they got my child passport application along with other documents. I explained and convinced that lady even though it does not look Birth Certificate but it is an original birth certificate, some how she convinced and asked me to wait, I waited 30 minutes more, she called me again and said ( may be she spoke with her supervisor) okay my child passport will be issued within one week. I was happy and came back home. Saturday Aug 16th when I opened mail box, my child passport is there and they sent back Birth Certificate and also GREEN CARD (some one told me green card will not be sent).
