I am an USC by naturalization, now i'm sponsoring my wife to get her green card, I got my green card like 15 years ago, and I don't have birth certifcate...is it a big deal? or can i just bring my naturalization citizenship paper, passport?

Thanks

You will need your birth certificate to sponsor your wife. It is better to reapply for one now from your country.Good luck.

There are no more birth certificate record after 15 years, so there is no way for me to get one...:( anyone here gone to interview without birth certificate?

You don't need a birth certificate. If you have a US passport, take that. You couldn't get a passport without the birth cert. How did you petition your wife? You would have had to have shown a birth cert then, what did you show?

I quote this from my checklist response:

If it is impossible to obtain an original document or a certified copy of the original document because records have been destroyed or the appropriate government authority will not issue one, you should obtain a certified statement from the appropriate government authority stating the reason your record is not available. May be this might help.

Passport trumps Birth Certificate and the Naturalization Certificate (unless it is specifically asked for) because you need either to get a passport.

We are in the same boat. We have the interview in a week and a half. My USC husband does not have a birth certificate. When we applied I sent in his Certificate of Citizenship and US Passport picture page. That seemed to be enough. Hope it's not a problem at the interview. I think it would be near impossible to get a birth certificate for him now as he fled Poland and the hospital he was born in does not exist anymore.

I know this post is old, but not to worry. A copy of your naturalization certificate &/or a copy of your American passport is totally fine. That is all that I have used throughout this whole process. You can't get a naturalization certificate if you're not an American citizen, obviously, and the same goes for an American passport.

AOS & getting the SSN & the I-693

6/13/08 Applied for SSN for David ----- TRIP 1; 6/23/08 Went back to SSA 'cuz the person didn't pc all documents (rec'd letter from them) ----- TRIP 2

7/2/08 Received David's health insurance cards! Yay!

7/3/08 Went back to SSA; they said come back 7/9 if he still hasn't received it ----- TRIP 3

7/8/08 Got list of vaccines he still needed from CS by fax/phone; tested for immunity to MMR (only vaccine still needed) at our family dr

7/9 & 7/10/08 Went back to SSA, card still not received - Denied opportunity to apply for replacement ----- TRIP 4; Went back to SSA again to apply for a replacement card - Talked to a supervisor this time, POE people entered his last name incorrectly ----- TRIP 5; went to get David's ID thru the State, denied - instructions wrong on website; measles test inconclusive, another test needed; requested new lease

7/14/08 SSA called me in regards to problems at local SSA office

7/15/08 INFOPASS appt to fix POE name input error and then went to airport to fix POE name error

7/17/08 Received SSN card in mail and went to get state ID

7/21/08 State ID received in the mail and tested again for measles immunity

7/29/08 MMR shot #2 given and dropped off papers at Civil Surgeon (CS)

7/31/08 Picked up I-693, completed by local CS, (I paid $25, don't be fooled)

8/3 - 8/6/08 Worked on forms I-485, G-325A, I-864, I-765 and I-131; sent to Chicago - YESSS!

8/11/08 NOA1 for AOS, EAD and AP; 9/2/08 Transfered to CSC; 9/4/08 Biometrics

10/24/08 Rec'd AP; 10/27/08 Rec'd EAD; 11/24/08 Rec'd GC
