Hi all,

It seems like NVC already accept my AOS I-864 package and DS 230 Package. Because I received an email from NVC requesting the beneficiary's birth certificate. Is it the birth certificate as the same as the notarial birth certificate? The beneficiary (mother) is in China. She was born in 1962. Back then, the government did not issue the Birth Certificate, especially like my mom was born in a samll village. What can I do now?

Thank you,

Christina

Hi, this information will hopefully help you:

Birth Certificates

Available in the form of notarial certificates, which are secondary evidence. Notarial certificates of birth (Chu Sheng Gong Zheng Shu or Chu Sheng Zheng Ming Shu) for persons living in or recently departed from China are generally reliable, but are best used in conjunction with other evidence. They are most often based upon an AHHR, (Household Record) which is easily susceptible to fraud, especially in villages. Notarial birth certificates for persons long departed from China are most likely based merely upon the testimony of interested parties.

While some notarial birth certificates will list stepparents or adoptive parents along with natural parents, this is not always the case. In some cases, the certificates will list only the natural parents, covering up an adoption.

Some applicants will present notarial certificates of relationship (Guan Xi Gong Zheng [or Zheng Ming] Shu) in lieu of notarial birth certificates. These certificates of relationship are unreliable and tend to be based solely upon the testimony of interested parties. Notarial birth certificates should be required. Care should be taken with any certificate that lists step relationships. These relationships are as of the date of issuance of the certificate only. Marriage certificates should also be required.

I did email in Mom's Notarial Birth Certificate along with the DS-230 Package.

But NVC still request for the Birth Certificate of Mom.

Is it not the same?

It should be. Email NVC back with another scanned copy of the Birth Certificate (in White Book format). They have been known to make a mistake or three ...

Ya, I'd say NVC made a mistake -

the covers on each white book are similar,

I'll guess they got confused, and did not understand what they SAW, was the actual notarial birth certificate.

Since it's been a week now, call NVC tonight, get a Human and inquire for status.

Good Luck !
