India birth certificate, no child name, is this an issue for US Passport, pls hlp

[aspiringcitizen]

I'm still in the N400 process and hopefully, if things go well, expect to be USC in approximately 6 months. My child has been under a green card and will automatically become a citizen as specified in the Child Citizenship Act of 2000.

One of the documents required for a US Passport application for my child is the birth certificate. My child was born in India and the birth certificate shows my name and my spouse's name, but, not the name of the child, which is the way things are over there.

Is this going to pose an issue? Anyone with a similar experience, or, would be able to offer suggestions? Please help.

it all depends on how lucky u are,in the sense who interviews you....i had a problem with my i90 as the name on my birth certificate says k.r.shishir like how u have the initials in india and on my gc and passport it has the full name....the person in the interview declined to process my application and then i asked to speak to the supervisor and both the ppl declined...what is bizzare is i had my dl from india ,my degree certificates from india and my high school markscards everything has k.r.shishir and even though i shwed it to them saying its a commo thing, they declined...and they said only thing i can do is get a affidavit from indian consulate...now getting a affidavit from india from my parents and getting it attested from indian embassy here...
so in short start working on ur kids b/c..since the parents are here (you)try to get a affidavit here or try to get a b/c done in india as it is a simple process...
whatever it is hope u dont have to go through the mess am going through....
g/luck

My birth cert from India does not have my name. It had my parents name though.
They accepted it for my Green Card Process...no issues.

I got my birth certificate from India, and it has my name and both my parents names in it (along with the place of birth, date and other details). I am not sure why your birth certificate does not have your name, if it is your birth certificate?

We just submitted the passport application for my duaghter yesterday after we were naturalized. The USPS lady looked confused when she saw the birth certificate without a name and she showed it to her colleague. He said that at least it was in English and told her to accept it. Hopefully it won't be a problem, but we'll know for sure when we get a passport for my daughter.

However, in your case since since you have a little time, you may want to try to get a birth certificate for your child from the Inidan Embassy.

worst case, prepare an affidavit and get it notarized. I guess in the above case, you
folk probably didn't name the child or turn in the name of the child to
the local birth registering office prior to their issuing the birth certificate.

Rgdless, you can prepare an affidavit confirming the birth facts and both parents
can sign the same and get it notarized as well.

Depends on what part of India and when you were born.

I had a pretty bad situation. Long ago the CBSE folks in India screwed up my date of birth by three months (they made me older). As a result of which the passport people used the wrong date of birth. While applying for my green card, I had to get a birth certificate as the DoB on passport is not what the INS wanted.

I obtained a birth certificate from India but it did not have my name on it but it had an accompanying letter explaining why it did not have my name. Later I started a case against CBSE to correct my DoB. So now I have a sticker on my passport stating my correct DoB, my GC has correct DoB, I have billions of paper sorrounding my BC and court papers...lol, this is ludicrous everytime someone requests my BC. Hope I dont get more griref during the citizenship process.
