Question about birth certificate

[agron]

HI there.
I am still hoping for the labor approval, but can't sit and wait. so I am starting to get things ready.
My question is:
How many birth certificates do you need in total per person to file the I-140?
And how many for the 485.
I called my embassy and they said it's better to contact somebody in my home country to get them for me, because thru them it takes a year. Unbelievable,but true.
Also can I just get one/person and have it copied, or do I need so many originals/person?
Do they have to be translated?.
I know it's a lot of questions but for those of you that have already done this, could you please answer.
I appreciate your help.
I am not sure when this H*LL will be over (PD 02/04), but when it comes to an end I want to be ready for premium.
Thanks

Hi Agron
You dont need brith certificate for I140.You need for 485 only.only one for each person.If u r from india u can get from local govt office.If brith certificate not available then you need to get nonavailability certificate and two affidavit from parents or relatives.

Thanks Sunny. I am not from India, I will have to ask my family back home to get it, because our embassy here is a mess.They sit here on their lazy a** , earn dollars, think they're big shot and then when you call then they have all this cr*p to say.
But I do appreciate your help. Good luck. I am still waiting and waiting and waiting. Not sure what the light at the end of the tunnel looks like or if there still will be a light when I get there. It's getting kinda old. Been here almost 16 years.
