Petitioner's birth certificate

[kvtran 0]

My fiance is probably 3 months away from an interview in HCMC. I was wondering if we have enough documents. I saw on some web site that they require the petitioner's birth certificate. Is this true? I do not have a birth certificate since it was lost in VN 27 years ago. Will the Naturalize citizenship certificate be enough? If you know the answer please let me know. Thanks.

If you do not have birthcertificate, the following documents below are accepted in lieu of your birthcertificate.

---A copy of your naturalization certification or certificate of citizenship issued by USCIS or the forme INS.

---A copy of Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the Unitd States, issued by an American embassy or consulate.

---A copy of your unexpired US passport

---An original statement from a US consular officer verifying that you are a US citizen with a valid passport.

OTHERS:

---Church records

---School records

---Census

---Affidavits

Hope this helps.

The petitioner's birth certificate is required at the interview. They write this requirement in all the forms they send the beneficiary.

I think you should e-mail the consulate and ask them about your situation. Perhaps you can substitute the certificate of naturalization, but no one besides the consulate will be able to tell you.

I know in Vietnam, you can get a letter from the local department of justice saying that they can't find your birth certificate or won't issue you another one. That is something else you can try.

Good luck.
