Congrats on the I130 approval, Vishnu Mahadev!
My mom's I130 got approved recently. However, she just received a 2nd biometrics notice for I485 without any explanation. Does anyone know what is going on? Does it mean that it will be delayed?

Here is her timeline

Parents GC application

I am getting ready to apply for my parents I130.

For my mom case,I have my birth certificate that shows both of my parents name.

But the birth certificate was issued in 2002 and the date of registeration is my actual birth date (which is in year 1975).I hope thats okay and wont cause any issues.
Any body who had a recent issued birth certificate and asked for RFEs.Please note that I am talking about recent issued birth certificate and not recently registered birth certificates.
My understanding is that only if the birth is registered late then we get RFE,but not because of issue date.Correct?
Also,I am planning to send a copy of the birth certificate and not the original as part of I130 application.


For my father,again I have my birth certificatre that shows his name.
But I dont have marriage certificate.My question is can my parents get a marriage certificate now.Would it be valid? Or Do we have to get affidavits for their marriage certificates?

I have two options here..
Option 1 - I have heard that marriages can be registered anytime later also,please let me know if people in this forum have used late registered marriage certificates.

Option 2- I can get two affidavits from elders from my family about my parents marriage.But then do I need to submit non availability of marraige certificates along with it.Is that a must?


Thanks
Shanks

Thanks Vinayakk
Thanks Dreamtrue

Shanks: IMHO your own Birth Certificate is OK. As long as competant authorities have given you that certificate, it is valid. In many cases, people obtain their BC at much later date. People were not aware of all the consequences of paperwork at later date.

For Marriage certificate question: I hope people with first hand knowledge will give you some information.

RFE For mom's birth certificate

Hello All,

Applied 130,485,131 for mom and today got RFE for birth certificate.

Here is situation; I have submitted 2 affidavits of birth certificates along with all other required documents except Non availability of birth certificate

1. Affidavit of birth from grandma (mom's mom)
2. Affidavit of birth from Mom's maternal uncle

Unfortunately i couldn't get Non availability of birth certificate. RFE says states like below

"In order to process your application further, you will need to submit a copy of the applicant’s birth cerficate.If the document is in language other than English, you must submit a copy of the foreign language document and English translation. "

Since I can't get Non availability of birth cerficate and have 2 affidavits of birth certificate, what is the easiest way of dealing with this RFE? MOM born in 1949 and since there is no registration of birth before 1960 in India, going to local Indian consulate (Houston) and getting birth certificate will work?

Please give idea, who is in this type of situation. Let’s say I will get birth certificate from Indian consulate then do I need to submit only consulate birth certificate or certificate along with affidavits again?

Thanks in advance for your valuable advice

Vasu,

My parents didn't have their Birth Certificates. But they were able to get from their resp Municipal corporations. They both came from small villages. Both of them were born before 1950.

The point I am trying to make is that you can obtain a certificate. But in your case, time may be of essence. Can you talk to IO on 1-800 number to figure why are they asking for a BC despite providing the affidavits?

If you do get the certificates, you only need to submit the certs and not the affidavits.

Vinayak

 

[eventually]

Vishnu,

You started the GC application process for your Mom on 11/21/08 and you already received approval? just estimating the time needed for GC approval for parents? thanks

 

[Shanks1975]

Hi,

I thought I was almost getting there with my parents BC,but now I have one more confusion..


My father was born in a village close to Kumbakonam,Tamil Nadu.The Kumbakonam municipality wont issue Non availability of Birth Certificate.

The village where he was born would probably issue it since we have some contact.But in the passport he has mentioned Kumbakonam,TN.

So the Birth certificate is from village which is part of Kumbakonam Taluk,but the village name is not in his passport.

Would this create any issue?

Does INS has problem with BC/NABC given by local indian consulate?

Since my mom doesn't have BC as well as NABC(Nonavailability BC) , I got RFE for BC AND specifically asking NABC if BC is not available...
here is my question,

1.Anybody faced issue with INS when they submitted BC/NABC given by local indian consulate?

2. Do we need to get NABC from local place in india?

Thanks in advance..

did u get non-availability certificate from india or us ?

Shank,

I am also in similar issue, mom born in place near by nagercoil and passport has nagercoil as place of birth ...Nagercoil is tough place to get NABC...i am trying to consulate in houston to get NABC ...based mom DOB 1969...

I don't know what to do, yourmaninindia.com are saying TN is tough state get even NABC AND IT might take 2 months.

Hi Vasu

My dad spoke with some one from the village panchayat this morning.He askled him to draft the NABC .The person said that Kumbakonam would be mentioned on the letter as a Taluk under Tanjore district.So I am hoping that as long as the city place is mentioned in the letter from the village and it matches the passport entry..its okay..;-(((

I will keep my fingers crossed..For you , you can get that from the village panchayat and ask them to mention it as Nagercovil taluka or something like that..so that the word Nagercoil is on the certificate..good luck

 

[drgeorge]

Shanks,

Mismatch of the brith cert and passport place of birth is generally not an issue. I have seen this with multiple cases and no objection was ever raised. As long as the state of birth is the same you should have no problem.

If 130 was approved on 29th April 2009....

If 130 was approved on 29th April 2009.........when can I realistically expect 485 approval to come through (first online as it is faster seen).
All the papers are already attached to parent's 485. No known exceptions.

TODAY is May 4th.

I expect it to happen on 6th May.

I am not anxious just curious ;-)

Update

Vishnu
They have received letter to do their Medical Again.
Letter says intent to deny. I think doctor might have missed out something on Immunization.

I wish that it was over but may be little longer.

am glad to see other people are getting approved.
