Hello!

quick background: IR-5 petitioning my mother from the Philippines, paid AOS and IV fee, submitted I-864 and supporting docs - now completing IV application form and gathering civil docs.

My question/issue right now is my mother was born in 1942 and NSO was not able to provide any Birth Certificate for her. She explained to me: Because of the year that she was born, civil docs were mostly lost or destroyed at that period...

Instead NSO gave her a "certificate" that proves that she doesn't have any Birth Certificate. I'm not sure what its called but she was able to get a PH Passport using this "NSO certificate".

now besides Baptismal Certificate (which another document that my mother cannot find or get anywhere) What other possible secondary civil doc can she use?

my mother was born 1936 and she did go to the local municipality to do a late registration. the municipality will forward the late registration to NSO then after a month or two the NSO will have the birth certificate ready. If your mom lives in manila it will be faster since she can go directly to the NSO main office to bring the paper after the registration from the municipality just in case the NVC still ask for her birth cert.

Oh wow, thanks JRluvsLhyn!

You just confirmed what my mother-in-law told me that she was able to get a Birth Cert by doing a late registration. Now I have to convince MY Mother to do the same! - - - My only problem now is that it will hold up the IV process because I have to wait for it to become available from NSO. I can't submit the civil docs without my mother's Birth Cert to support the DS-260 form.

I hope it doesn't take 2 months. lol

Thanks again!

Yes that's all she can do to have her birth certificate, it will be faster if she or someone else can go to the NSO main office and bring the paper that's done from the local municipality personally. I did it myself before, and took me only two weeks to get them done...good luck and hope your mom get's it right away

your so welcome! I think that will be wise to wait for her birth certificate otherwise, there's a big possibility that you will get checklist either way, can hold up the process...sorry :(
