Use a 10+2 school leaving certificate that lists the birth date. Or a ration card/voter ID. Attach a note explaining the case of unregistered birth. And also get a notarized sworn statement from the parents attesting to the birth.

They will also accept a certified sworn affidavit from her mom with all the birth information... My husband told me that most of the time that they use the school records as birth certificates in India, and I have also read that they accept them... My hubby was able to get a birth certificate from the court... but I also included the school records for the I-130 and the I-129F
