Non availability certificate/ Indian Consulate general

[kulbikr]

I was told by my lawyer that the affidavits by my parents and the school leaving birth certificate will not be enough and that I needed a non-availability certificate from my government. Now I have heard that the Indian consulate General at New York provides a Non-availability certificate and a Birth certificate based on your passport. Has anyone used this for filing with I-485? Any experiences with this would be appreciated. Getting a non-availability certificate from where I was born is not feasable for my parents so would the certificate from the consulate work?

Please help.

I was told the same thing by my lawyer too. but now the lawyer says its ok to submit the school leaving certificate with the affidavit from people other than parents who were 18 years and above at the time of birth. hope fully it should work. please keep us posted with the follow up.
