Question Regarding Birth Certificate

[luluyen 0]

Few days ago or so I have seen some posts stating that they were asked to send copy of beneficary's birth certificate. So now I am scared that it will be asked when my fiance mail out K-1.

The reason I am scared because my mom couldn't find my birth certificate in Taiwan and since now I am working full time in Canada I won't be able to go back to Taiwan and apply by myself. I did ask my family to help me but they are too lazy and think it's too much trouble. So I am just wondering what if I show copy of my Canadian Citizenship Card and all my previous Taiwan and Canadian passports as a alternative for the birth certificate would that be ok?

Hope there are someone that were in same situation as me and can help me. Thank you

Hi, you have to send an autorization mail for you relatives (the one who will get the copy of your bc from the NATIONAL REGISTER OFFICE InTAIWAN. At least i got mine thru the help of my cousin. I sent him an autorization and in one week i got it and dont forgot to tell them it must be AUTHENTICATE!

My financee (the beneficiary) is also Taiwanese. My advice is to not "think too much" about this problem, because it is the petitioner (the USC) who must document their US citizenship with the I-129F. Thus, I believe you are worrying about a very rare situation.

However, you will surely need your family register papers and birth certificate later in the process. Moreover, these must be translated into English, so please start planning to make this happen.

Note. I included a copy of her Taiwan passport (front page) with the G-325A, as evidence of her national identity, even though such information is not requested.

You will need to have a copy of your Long for Birth Certificate, they will ask to see the original at your interview when you get there. So I would try going on line and see if there is another way to get your birth certifcate or ask another relative to do it for you. The long form is basically the version where it shows the name of both parents and their place of origin. Also they will want to have it translated. Goodluck.

What do you mean "Long for Birth Certificate" my sis say she never heard of it before. So does it mean there's two kind of birth certificate?

Here in my state of ny they can give you 2 different types. the one you desire shows your parents names and address so that is called the long one. I asked for the type needed to satisfy a government agency. They knew which one.
