Call from Embassy 2 weeks before the interview requesting Original Birth certificate!

[Emran+Farah 4]

Hello to all VJers..

I got a phone call from Islamabad embassy and they asked me to get the Original Birth Certificate. Now My wife had already sent them the original(Nadra)birth certificate to NVC and in the instruction package I received from NVC states that they have received my Original birth certificate with a sign "O". So what now, is that normal? Do I go to Nadra and get me another one made as i do have the photocopy of the previous one? I can get that done easily...and it only takes a day or two max to get it from Karachi Nadra office as my interview is on the 14th of this month. Please advise if there's something else I'm supposed to do. Thanks in advance

They may be asking for the actual birth certificate before the NADRA began issuing them. If you have the birth certificate from that take that to them. My husband had one from the hospital where he was born but I think the hospital is no longer there but we took that made certified copies/went to NADRA got one from there as well. Sent both originals into them. (kept copies as backup) Got them back at the interview.

Call them and ask them if that is what they are wanting and if you dont have the original then ask them what they need instead and tell them the NADRA original is with your packet already. See if they have any other options for you.

Good luck to you!

Thank you EAbbas, but the problem is that I don't have the birth certificate from hospital, and the same issue that hospital (maternity home) does not exist anymore in Karachi. I tried getting in touch with the embassy but no luck, couldn't get through. So is it a big issue if i don't have the one from hospital?

I think they asking for the Birth Certificate issued by KMC. If the birth was registered then there should be a Birth Certificate issued by KMC. You suppose to submit the KMC certificate to obtained the NADRA birth Certificate. If you already submitted the KMC birth Certificate to get NADRA Birth Certificate then go to KMC and get another copy re-issue and you can take it with you to the Embassy at the time of your interview (It will take 2 to 3 days to obtain from KMC).

I submitted both NADRA And KMC birth Certificates and still waiting to hear from NVC. My Wife case still at NVC and I am still waiting to hear from them to see if the case completed OR they ask for more documents.
