AOS Interview Question

[PGM 0]

Thanks everyone for providing such wonderful information on these forums!!

My husband's AOS Interview is scheduled on 07/07/09.

In our Interview Letter, they are requiring the Petitioner's (my) birth certificate. I lost my birth certificate many yrs ago & would have to travel back to India to get one...

I received my citizenship in 2003, but my Birth certificate was not required at the time w/ my application. What do I do? Will my husband be denied his Permenant Residency if I can't provide a Birth Certificate?

Is there something else I can provide in lieu of the Birth Certificate? Can someone provide a similar experience?

Thanks again...

If they are making a specific request in the interview letter, I would think they want to see it. Can you write home, and get a copy of your birth certificate forwarded to you? I would check the internet to find how that process could be done. Perhaps you could contact the nearest Indian Consulate for assistance.

I don't know if this helps, but our IO didn't ask for my (the petitioner's) birth certificate at the interview. I haven't seen many instances in other member's interview experience stories where the individual was asked to present it; you will certainly want to have your passport to prove your citizenship, but it's unlikely that they'll ask for your birth certificate. That's just my two cents, but perhaps someone else feels differently?

Hi PGM,

I know somebody who submitted his naturalization certificate instead of his birth certificate and they pass the AOS with out any hassle.

During my interview the officer didn't ask for Petitioner's birth certificate, but he asked his driver's license only.
