Mother has wrong birth date on Marriage Certificate

 Share

4 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I just became a US citizen and my mother and father are coming over on a I-130. They already have their passports and birth certificates but their marriage certificate has the wrong birth date of my mother. It is dated one year later on the marriage certificate.

It will take months to recieve the official marraige certificate with the revisions. I have heard that is better to send the original document in because it looks less fixed or should we wait for the revised one? Also, we could not mention anything and submit or

write an explanation with the I-130.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...

I had a similar problem when I turned USC and they suggested to get it fixed prior to petitioning. It took 14 months for my parents marriage certificate to get fixed.

Thanks for the reply...

We decided to include an explanation letter and two letters from relatives saying they were at the wedding.

We followed the directions on the I-130 instructions:

Form I-130 Instructions 12/18/12 Y Page 4
What If a Document Is Not Available?
D. Affidavits:
Written statements sworn to or affirmed by
two persons who were living at the time and who have
personal knowledge of the event you are trying to
prove. For example, the date and place of birth,
marriage or death. The person making the affidavit
does not have to be a U.S. citizen. Each affidavit
should contain the following information regarding the
person making the affidavit: his or her full name,
address, date and place of birth, and his or her
relationship to you, if any, full information concerning
the event, and complete details explaining how the
person acquired knowledge of the event.

Will let you know the outcome...
