It is not necessary to have this in the presence of a First Class Magistrate.

Any Notary Public will do.

When you say banks you are probably referring to situation in US.

Since most of the Birth Affidavits are executed either in India (or the respective Countries ) the Banks there do not have Notaries as they do here in US.

Gc as raju mentioned we can get it from public notary in india on Rs 20 stamp paper

Yes. One has to go through medicals again. The vaccination records are valid and will not have to be repeated. I used the vaccination records from AOS medicals at Hinduja. No problems.

As per AP/EAD, it is a grey area whether they remain valid if you switch to AC140. Use the H1 validity as far as you can. Normally USCIS should send you a letter to confirm your intention to switch to CP once the service center is ready to process I824. The AP/EAD should remain valid till you get this letter. If you finish CP before that, no problems. Better confirm this with your lawyer (Or some one from this forum can confirm this).

Good Luck.

Hey Kat02
Thank you very much.
My 140 was approved on Jan 13, 2005
I have scheduled a call with my lawyer for next monday to review all the available options.
 
New news for Birth Affidavits

Hi Folks,

i am not sure if you all are aware but i came to know about it today. Before we could get our affidavits signed in front of a Special Metropolitian Magistrate but from july 2004, they do not have the authority to sign them in Maharashtra, as such only govt. appointed notaries can sign these kind of affidavits.

I have one old birth affidavit signed by the Special Metropolitian Magistarte, new one will just get it notarised by a notary public.

Thought will share with you.

Thanks,

GC
 
Can we get the supporting affidavit of support for an incomplete birth certificate (missing mother's maiden name and my name) notarized here in the US ? My father is currently here and it just is easier to get it done here than be rushed to get it done on the trip for the interview.

Also, I am still unclear about the need for translation in case the BC is not in English (mine is in Hindi). Any ideas ?

{It is not an Affidavit of support. It would be a Birth Affidavit. Yes, it
can be executed here in US in the presence of a Notary}

Skater,

Even my BC does not include my mothers name as well as my name, it is also issued in hindi as in U.P they were not including the mothers name at that time, if you BC is from UP, just to update you, i have received a new BC with mother's name included. Reason i am going for affidavits is becasue this new BC is issued with 3 years from my appointment date. As long as you can get it translated in english, as raju mentioned, US notarised translated letter will suffice the purpose.

thanks

Gurus advice please..

In my BC my mother's initial is missing. Is it ok or do I need to get a birth affidavit for that.

Kovai,

If it's not tough to get the affidavit, my 2 cents get it, it's good to be well prepared so that there is no element of doubt in your mind.
 
Thanks Raju. Couple of followup questions.

{It is not an Affidavit of support. It would be a Birth Affidavit. Yes, it
can be executed here in US in the presence of a Notary}

I now have a document from my father which states my mother's and my names (missing from BC) and his relationship to both. We got this notarized here in California. Does this qualify as a birth affidavit ? My mother isn't alive so, I can only use his statement.


{Documents that are not in English need to be translated by approved
translators. Search for details on this aspect}

Do I have to get this document notarized too ?
In the meantime, I need to look for services to do the translation. I wonder if the Indian Consulate in SF has any such service ....
 
Thanks GC_. I will do that.

Kovai,

My mother's last name is missing from my birth certificate. It has my full name and my father's full name. I wrote an email to Mumbai consulate if that is acceptable. They replied back that it is acceptable.

I would suggest you to write Mumbai consulate and see what they suggest.
