My wife's original birth certificate is in 4 separate pieces. we have our interview on 10/29 @ Chicago and have made arrangements to obtain affidavits since the BC has no name on it. However, will the damaged document still be acceptable if we tape it together or get it laminated?

Get 2 affidavits on 10 rupee stamp papers signed by notary or executive magistrate (from India if you belong to India) AND Non availability certificate or new Birth certificate with complete Name on it as it appears on the passport.

Birth Certificate from Indian Embassy?
Hello Friends,
I have a question here, I have applied for I-140 and now collecting documents for filing I-485. As you all know, one of the required documents for I-485 is the Birth Certificate.
I got the Affidavits from both of our (my wife and myself) regarding the birth from the Magistrate (in India). I thought since it might take a long time to get the Birth Certificates from India, I contacted the Indian Embassy at Washington D.C. and got the Birth Certificate from there.
They issued the Birth Certificate with the Indiam Emblem, Embassy of India stamp. It also includes my name, date of birth, parents name, birth place etc.
I just wanted to know whether the Birth Certificate issued by Indian Embassy and the two affidavits issued by our parents are enough to prove our birth. OR INS will expect the birth certificate from india? I dont see any reason why they might ask for birth certificate from India and not accept the Birth Certificate issued here at India Embassy.
If anyone has faced this problem earlier, can you please let me know? Also let me know whether it is ok to carry the birth certificate issued by the embassy and the affidavits for the interview?
I appreciate your replies.
Thanks,
Antro
