Which Consulat will my wife go to fo r CP?

[rocketman 6]

But how does she have a birth certificate from France if she was born in Morocco?

That's what I was wondering too. Also at NVC stage you don't need to translate any french documents to English, since French is the language of the consulate she is appearing.

Since she grow and has done all her studies in France she got naturalized and now she can get a birth certificate from France that stats too she was born in Morocco. I think a naturalized US citizen will be able to get a birth certificate from US after naturalization no?

Well it depends on the consulate in france. At least for my country I will have to send all the documents again with their translations to the NVC because that is what they require. and when the time comes to go to the interview I will need to bring originals and translations again. go to this website http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3742.html and look for the consulate in france to see what they require. But as I told right now you just have to worry about getting your I-130 approved which might take a couple of months.

It depends on his consulate I will have to translate all the documents in english again because whatever I send to to NVC is going to be forwarded to the consulate in the Dominican Republic and they require the documents to be translated.

so she doesn't really have a birth certificate from france but a naturalization certificate from france which is different from a birth certificate. I am not sure if she will have to provide both but maybe you can go into the forum from france and ask if someone has the same situation. And a US citizen does not get a birth certificate after naturalization because he or she wasn't born here, you have a naturalization certificate. You get a birth certificate from the country you were born.

though naturalized US citizen will get birth certificate. Here in France if you are naturalized you will get a French birth certificate like anyone who were really born in France but stating his real birth country

So I guess that is what you will have to provide since is a birth certificate.

For filing i-130 you don't need the beneficiary's birth certificate. You only need to submit a copy of your marriage certificate.

Later on, after USCIS has approved your i130 and forwarded it to NVC, that's when you'll need the beneficiary's birth certificate. I have never encountered anyone having 2 birth certificates from 2 different countries so I cannot be 100% sure which one NVC will acknowledge. To play it safe, have both Moroccan and French BC on-hand.

I can't get what questions you are talking about? Which columns there is no table in the I130 form. Can you give me the question number? Are you talking about G-325a form? by the way she is a French citizen she has dual citizenship (French and Moroccan)

Yes, beware of question number 22 on the I-130. Its a tricky question and you need to get it right. This is the one that set me and my wife back 2 months at the NVC stage. If I remember right, the first part of the question asks if your spouse has been to the U.S or something to that effect and I put N/A. Because the first part of the question didn't pertain to us, I moved on to the next question...Oh how I regret it now!

To make a long story short, my wife is from the Philippines but works in Thailand. We wanted to have our interview done in Thailand which would make it a whole easier for us...We thought because she was living there, we'd automatically have the interview there... When we got our case number from the NVC, the first three letters started with MNL which meant our case would be sent to Manila once we completed the NVC stage. It took us almost 2 months to have our case switched over to Bangkok and a whole lot of documents proving that my wife was in Thailand legitimately. Everything else with the NVC will be held up until your case is switched over...You wont be able to process your IV packet until this is taken care of.

Take it from someone who made this same mistake and avoid the delay at the NVC stage...Be sure to answer the second part of question # 22, even if the first part doesn't pertain to you.

As for me and my wife, we are still waiting for our case to be reviewed at the NVC.

Wishing you the best on your journey......

Thank you everyone for your answers. I wish I could bring both birth certificate since I can't get hers from her birth country. I can only get hers from France delivered from the french authorities :/

It will have her full name, her full parents name, her date and city(country) of birth and wil mention her previous divorce before me and her wedding with me and a note that she became a french citizen since X date by naturalisation.
