Birth Certificate lost & AOS interview

[HogNKisses 0]

Dear all,

I have a question. I was going through the list of documents stated in the interview letter. One of the list is Birth Certificate of my husband(citizen by naturalization). He is afraid he has somehow lost the original copy in our native language. I wonder if this is going to create a problem at interview. In fact, I don't think this was required when I filed I-130 and I-485.

I was also thinking about having his family sent it here. However, ironically, it is very unlikely that someone is going to help. What if we show his US passport and naturalization certificate instead??

Would anyone please share your experience about this issue?

Has he tried calling whoever he needs to contact to get a new bc?

I know that for me, it only takes a week to receive it directly from France.

You have a week ahead, it should be doable. Shouldn't the passport be enough?

Hi Lilli,

I am going to try and do all I can. But still not sure I will ever get that. I am sure it is doable if his family helps. The problem is he does not have a good relationship wtih his family. So, we think nobody is going help us..

Ah! I see. How about you try with the Thai Embassy.

They should be able to point you in the right direction...Good luck!

Lilli,

I had a Thai consullate in chicago certify a translated copy of my birth certificate last time. They required an original copy in order to do that. Let me see what else i can do
