This is an aprroximate text from the RFE I received for my mother's application:
Birth Certificates
Available. Prior to l970, the reporting of births was voluntary. Birth certificates of Europeans, Anglo-Indians, Armenian Christians, Jews and Parsis born prior to l970 may be obtained from the State Registrar General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages. No standard or uniform certificate is issued by the authorities. In addition, acceptable certificates may often be obtained from the municipal and rural registration records, which are maintained under the state laws. Europeans, Anglo-Indians, and Indian Christians are usually able to obtain church baptismal certificates.
Under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act of l969, births are required to be registered in almost all of the States and Union Territories of India. Birth certificates are available to any applicant born on or after April l, l970, upon payment of a nominal fee to the appropriate authority.
In cases where birth certificates from the authorities are unavailable or contain insufficient information regarding the birth or the parents, a sworn affidavit executed by either the parents, if living, or other close relatives older than the applicant, may be submitted. It should set forth the relationship between the deponent and the applicant, how well the deponent knows the applicant, date and place of the applicant's birth, the names of both parents, and any other related facts. Such an affidavit, when a birth certificate is unavailable, should be accompanied by a document from a competent governmental authority confirming that the certificate does not exist, or no longer exists..
This is the info you need:
"...Such an affidavit, when a birth certificate is unavailable, should be accompanied by a document from a competent governmental authority confirming that the certificate does not exist, or no longer exists

My Mom's CP - few questions
I am waiting to receive DS 230 form from NVC for my Mom.
I have few questions. Can you please help me here.
1. Do we need to send passport size photos with DS 230 along with
passport photo copies?
2 Do we need to send DS 230- Part II also to NVC without signing that form?
3. My Mom is widow and can't understand english nor speak fluently.
So, is it required that I should plan my india trip for her interview
in order for me go inside with her?
Can you please take few minutes to clarify my questions.
Thanks a lot.

I am offended by your post. You only want to be a US citizen so you can sponsor your relatives to live in the US. I'm sure be a terrible ambassador of good will for the US with this attitude.
Concerned4us, I apologized for offending you, please don’t take it personal.
I believe that many people understand the initial concern of being a US citizen would mean much more trouble to me to travel back my homeland, I would stuck in getting the Visa and spend much more energy and money on the applying for Visa (just nightmares from opposite direction). Holding the GC would mean so much more convenience for me to travel back to visit my folks there..
However, as I am approaching the finish line of this process, and realize that I am going to get Voting right this year, which will make me such a proud citizen. I guess all the troubles in getting it and the future hassels will be well worth it.

Thank you very much for your response! I think you are right, So, you did apply i-485 for your parents as soon as they got here?
I am going to get the applications ready soon.

What is DS-230? I didn't see it on the first page.
(Sorry for naive question, tried with a quick search, I didn't find out the answer.)

Citizen08,
I'm glad you acknowledge that citizenship has responsibilities as well as rights. Being a good citizen is hard work; now you have to start paying attention the candidates position statements so you can cast a well informed vote!

Interview common for parents AOS?
Hi Guys,
Is an interview a routine part of a AOS processing for USC's parents? If so, is the USC expected to accompany the parent(s) to the interview? I just filed for my parents' AOS. They are currently staying with my sister in Kansas - so that is the address I used for the app. I wanted to see if I'd need to fly to Kansas for their AOS interviews.
P.S. Many thanks to Praetorian and Austriacus you answered my queries on filling out the application forms.

CP last stage NVC procedure changed - Latest update
I applied for my mother GC and we are in last stage where I received DS 230
form instructions today.
So far I was told by forum that I need to have my mother's birth certificate, police clearance certificate etc at the time of interview. But in the letter I received, it clearly says, I need to send all those documents in original.
We are in the process of obtaining PCC from passport office but by reading the instructions from NVC, we need PCC only from local police authority and no need to get passport office PCC.
If anybody in the same boat as mine, until now, i wasn't aware of meaning of my mom's NVC case number letters. Her starts with NWD - I found today that it is New Delhi Consulate and she is from A.P.
I talked to NVC agent and they said I need to send a mail to request change of consulate.
If anyone in the same stage with their parents CP, can they please confirm this new changes NVC made?
Thanks.

I am not the agent yet.
Application is not approved yet.My parents live in Guntur, AP.
I am gathering information to become the agent.
How much time it took for NVC to send the AOS fee bill after the approval of the I-130 petetion from Cervice center?
Also as per the information we have with our friends in this forum experiences,
parents need to take the PCC and BC with them (originals)
May be now the rules are changing.Thank you so much for your help
Good luck to you mom

2nd Fingure Print Notice for Father
Hi LKBECTZ;
Sorry, for late reply !!!
I am not sure how can I findout that since I don't have the envelope ? I have finished my father fingure print today afternoon.
I asked the question to the guy who took his fingureprint and according to them I-765 required only 1 fingure and I-485 required all 10 fingure Prints. According to him once you get old it's difficult to get the fingure prints. My father is around 68.

If Both I-130/I-485 transfer to CSC, it may show that you may get GC without interview at local DO. After CSC approval your case, they will sent you a welcome notice with card ordered. So don't worry, it's good news.
2nd Fingure Print Notice
I saw other topic in this forums if 2rd FP not completed, may get police report.
NO, I didn't submit any police Report. Once again, just so you know that my parents were here on Visitor and I have applied the change of status.
Did the guy do the FP for your father again for I-765 this time?
No, only for I-485.
For the Svc Center which sent your father 2 rd FP notice, you can also find on 2rd FP Notice, besides your dad A#, if it is indicated MSC, then means National Benefits Center, same called Missouri Svc Center.
Service Center: MSC
