I am in full blown panic mode....

I have AOS interview on Wednesday a.m., less than 48 hrs.... and I can't find my original birth cert. I am beneficiary. n

Back story... (more in my timeline)

Had employment based I485 submitted in fiasco of 2007. Now adjusting on marriage to US spouse but using same old 2007 I485 which was converted to marriage based by USCIS after request

I can't recall what was submitted exactly in 2007. I was living in US and family was back home. They had my birth cert. So because of logistics, I think they sent me a notarized copy of the original birth cert (in native language) along with a notarized translation of birth cert. I don't know if I submitted that in 2007 or in 2009 when I got a RFE for medicals and birth cert. Because my name is totally different in my birth cert from name I have always used, we included notarized affidavits from parents and uncle to explain the name issue....that in our culture it's usual for name to be changed after astrological consultation etc. The name given at hospital at birth is usually not kept. I also included birth details from my country's consulate in NY (a lot of people accept consulate letters as birth cert but am told not USCIS). I also included school documents showing my name/parents name. They didn't bother me again after receiving the RFE response (if even looked at).

I have originals of all the above. But not the actual birth cert in native language. I will look again tonight but couldn't yesterday. And yes I am an idiot for waiting till now to get my docs together. Moving to a new place threw me off and I thought I had everything. I don't know if BC is back home with parents, is lost or what....I don't have it...

I am in panic mode. Are they going to deny? How many people get asked for their birth cert at interview. I have like past 4 passports on top of it...

Darn birth cert....

HELP.....

They never asked to look at ours, that isn't to say they won't for yours but I would worry that much about it, worst case you would get an RFE at the interview.

Thank you...I am just praying that it's not asked for. getting something from my home country is a pain, if I get RFE, but better than denial for sure. I can understand need for the petitioner's I130 as sponsor, but mine can't be as important....I hope. It's useless anyways cause of the wrong name on it.... I have a migraine from stress.
