Hi all,

Please forgive me for posting this twice in these forums. I had posted this in the CR-1 Spouse Visa section 7 days ago, but was advised to post it here as it is UK specific. Apologies in advance. Anyway...

I seem to recall reading in the info from US Immigration, that I will need to supply a letter of verification from the GRO (General Register Office) alonside my adoption certificate to verify that it is accepted as a birth certificate. (I should add this is for my forthcoming documentation required for the Embassy interview.)

Yesterday I called the GRO and they told me that in the UK, my adoption certificate is clased as my birth certificate and that they have no such knowledge of any such letters being formatted for US Immigration visa applications. Therefore, as far as they are concerned, my adoption certificate is good enough.

Is anyone able to shed a little light on this as to whether this could cause us any problems with our application?

I know this is way late, but my honey is adopted and the GRO told him the same thing. Adoption Decree is all he needed.

Hope that helps <3
