Affidavits from family members in lieu of missing birth certificate

Hello all

Can someone point me to a template/format for the affidavit from family members in case of a missing birth certificate ? I need it for the I-130 that I will be filing for my parents.

Thanks much

There are specific threads and other information on birth certificate affidavits in this forum. Here is a sample from immihelp.com website

http://www.immihelp.com/immigration/birth-certificate-affidavit.html

In general, the person giving the affidavit should provide his/her full name, date and place of birth, current address. He/she should state how they know the applicant (relationship), provide applicant's date and place of birth, names of both parents. Say something like "this affidavit of birth facts is being offered, as applicant's(name) birth was not recorded.".

I hope that helps.
 
Thanks Visaapplicant

Thanks a ton, Visaapplicant.
BTW, I did skim through every one of the 45 pages on this thread before posting my question. I guess I should have been more thorough :) .

Thanks again for all your help.

A question for CP

I sent in my father's application on July 5th and my mothers a week later. Today I got an email notice that states my mother's application is approved but nothing happens to my father's application. I called and was told to call back after a month.

Is this common?

Thanks.

I assume you got the receipt notices for both parents right?
Is not the case that they lost one application?

Then, Yes that is commom. My dad's got approved about 20days later than my mom's by USCIS.
After that...both applications kind of caught up when the Nat Visa Center started processing them.

It is probably a good thing. In this forum we have seen instances where parents' cases were transferred to CSC even though they are not in CSC service area. When that happened, usually the cases were approved without an interview and faster than it would have at their DO. Check for experience of username "simidude" and also the timelines on first page of this thread (when it says no interview, they were approved by CSC).

Birth Certificate

Is there anyone who has used yourmaninindia services.

I would like to use their services for my parents non availability birth certificate.

Also, is it possible to use embassy issued birth certificate for parents instead of non-availability certificate.

Thanks
 
Hello Jenimmi:

Would you know how long it takes after you turn in the DS230, Part I for the case to be turned over from the NVC to the Consulate in India?

Middle name not matching between BC and PP

Hi Gurus.

I will get my US Citizenship probably by end of Oct'06. My mother came here on visiting visa who still have valid I-94 until Jan 2007. The question is that there is slight difference in my mother's middle name.
In her passport, the middle name is Venamma where as in my birth certificate it is Veni. First and last names are perfectly matching.
She also has the birth certificate which is identical to her passport name. I am wondering whether there would be any RFE for this. Could anyone shed some light on this issue.
Yours advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try to get Affidavit of Birth for yourself, from 2 people older than you and have your Mother's name in the affidavit spelt the same as in her PP & BC.

Another alternative is to get a birth certificate for yourself with your Mother's name spelt correctly. This could be in addition to the affidavits of birth.
 
apply social security number with welcome notice

Hello All:

My mother recently got the approval and the DO did not stamp her passport.
They indicated that we should receive the Green card soon and DO do not practice stamping the passport.

We did get the welcome notice today but have not received any email yet about the card being ordered. I assume that it is going to take some time before we receive the card.

I am wondering if we can apply the Social Security number using the welcome notice and I-130 approved letter.

Has anyone experience in this matter or applied with the welcome notice ?

Thanks a lot jenimmi for your advice. For I-693(Medical), do we need to fill it and get the signature from immigration doctor or just we need to send the sealed copy given by the immigration doctor. Please advice.

If your trip to the doctor is already over, didn't he already fill the I-693 form and put it in the sealed envelope? If you know the form's in the sealed envelope, just mail it with the rest of the package.
If you're not sure contact the doctor's office to confirm, they put it in the sealed envelope.

If you haven't yet seen the doctor, then take one blank I-693 and one filled I-693 and he'll tell you what you should do.
