My Date of Birth (DOB) on the School certificates and the Passport is not registered correctly. Its off by tens of months compared to my actual DOB. My birth
is registered in the local government records and only a couple of years ago a Birth Certificate was obtained which is when I found out about the issue. The
reason for this mis match started very early in school ( when no Birth certificate was required) and continued ever since as my official DOB.
Now I am faced with a couple of major choices with I485 and not sure the best way to move forward.
#1. Produce the Birth Certificate which has the mis matching date. I am not sure if USCIS will respond and ask me get my DOB changed in Passport which may
have cascading effect on School Certificates and wherever else its recorded ( including Social Security Administration ). This may also turn out to be a huge
undertaking back in the home country. Based on how they correct the DOB on passport I may need a new Visa as well. I am also not sure how much of it can be
done through home country consulate in the US.
#2. Try to obtain a certificate of Non-Availability for the official ( incorrect ) DOB. I am not sure if I can get one or not as my DOB is recorded.
Also, if #2 is not possible, I may be forced to go with #1.
I am not sure in either case what exactly the affidavits from relatives should state.
