Birthday Cert Question

[joshbola 0]

Morning Guys, I thought I would call USCIS, but we have so many awesome members who know a lot, so here is my question. Once my wife becomes a US Citizen, she will be bring her parents over. We have most of the documents, but ran into issue when it comes to birth certificate. My In-Laws don't have Birth Certificates because they didn't issue them in that time. So I wanted to know what are our options to solve this issue. Please share your thoughts, thank you in advance.

If you could not get BC for them, You can get a letter from local corporation or municipality in which city or town they born , explaining wats the reason for not having the records of them at corporation. and also they might have some ID proofs such as Voter id or pan card or passport which reflects their birth date and place of birth, using that, u can get notorial affidavit for affidavit of birth certificate

I think this wil be the procedure so dont take my points as a final one, search for more info. i may be right or wrong.

BIRTH CERTIFICATE (Original and photocopy). Each applicant must submit an original and a clear

photocopy of his/her birth certificate. The certificate should include the applicant’s name, date and place of

birth, the names of both parents, and the seal of the issuing office, i.e. the municipal authorities or the village

authorities (gram panchayat or talati-cum-mantri). If your name is not mentioned in the birth certificate and if

any details are missing in the birth certificate or if there is a discrepancy regarding your date of birth or name,

submit the certificate along with secondary evidence.

“Secondary evidence” can be a baptismal certificate, an adoption decree, a school record, or a notarized

affidavit from a close relative, a neighbor or friend who was present at the time of your birth on the appropriate

stamp paper and sworn before a First Class Magistrate. The person making this affidavit must state how he/she

knows your family and how he/she knows the facts of your birth. Secondary evidence must have your name,

date and place of birth; names of both parents; and the seal of the issuing office.

If your birth was not recorded, please submit a “no record of birth registration” letter from the relevant

municipality along with secondary evidence, and if your birth record has been destroyed or the municipal

authorities will not issue one, submit a letter from the municipality stating so along with secondary evidence.

(See preceding paragraph for definition of “secondary evidence.”)
