My Fiancee submitted the National Population Commission and that was because she could not find the original one and had to get an affidavit which she took to National Population Commision for registration.

the birth certificate from the national population commission is generally accepted while the one from either the hospital or local gov might be rejected. I would advice u go to the court house for an affidevits use the affidavits to get ur birth cert in any national population comission in nija.

I will advice you to obtain a Birth Certificate from your local Govt depending on the time you were born in Nigeria. If you were born after 1979 obtained a certify true copy of your birth certificate from the local Govt you were born at that time. If you were born before 1979 obtain a non-avaliablity of the Birth Certificate from your Local Govt at that time with an affidavit from your parents as a supporting documents from the court.

US Embassy in Lagos can collect Birth Attestation from the National Population Commission OR a Sworn Affidvait from the Court in Nigeria, if you were born from 1992 till date. But if not, please do obtain a copy from Local Govt based on the information stated above. With USCIS, it is a different ball game. It will help you when you will arrive in the US and you want to commence change of Status to permanent residence. I am talking out of experience. Please do follow this advice and get done so that you wont have any problem with USCIS. US Embassy and USCIS operates in a different way. USCIS adjudicate cases on petition approval while US Consulates checks for completeness of the cases to take decisions for Visa issuances.

Your change of status matters when you arrive in the US to start a new life. At times USCIS use to frustrate and give alien problems when their documents are not properly obtained from the appropriate body responsible for it for Adjustment of Status petition, Please be wise and read the Department of State manual information on Birth Certificate from Nigeria to know what to obtain and follow their instructions.

I wish you all the best.
