Hi Seniors,
First off, let me congratulate those who received their new "green cards," my best regards for a happy life ahead for you and for those who are still waiting!!!
Now, I have a situation/question that I would like y'all to reflect your thoughts/advice on. I will be doing AOS.
My first name (eg. Ijjy vs. Izzy) and DOB (by 1 yr 2 months) is different in my high school transcript (its a long story). I have my correct first name and DOB in everything else, including my passport, SS card, ID, University degrees, and so on. I tried to get my high school correct it back then but in vain. So, I went to my local government office (who is responsible for issuing citizenship certificate, birth certificate, etc.) and had them certify (in my native language) that both person with two different first names and different DOBs were one and same person (i.e., Ijjy and Izzy with different DOBs were one and same person). I took that document to another local government office (strictly responsible for translation of documents to English) and had it translated to English. This was done in 2003 in my native country.
Now, here's the dilemma, if I submit my high school transcripts/diploma, it may look like someone's else degree/diploma. I could/and would send it with the certifying documents I mentioned above, but will they accept it (the certifying document) or they need me to send the translations per their books...
Or, could I just send in my University degrees/diplomas and not send my high school degree/diploma...will I still be OK? Has anyone done this (not sent in their high school credentials) and been OK/approved?
What do you think?
Highly appreciate your precious advice.
Izzy
