Apply for Parents / Issues Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificates

[qasha 1]

I am applying for my parents and I am going to send these documents.

For Mother:

1- Copy of my US Citizen certificate

2. Copy of my Birth Certificate showing Mother's Name on it.

3. A Check of $420

4. i130 of course

5. 1 Affidavit from a old family member certifying my mother's Date of Birth - As she don't have Birth Certificate.

Problems: Please let me know if you see anything missing.

For Father:

1- Copy of my US Citizen certificate

2. Copy of my Birth Certificate showing Mother's Name and Father's name on it.

3. A Check of $420

4. i130 of course

5. 1 Affidavit from a old family member certifying my mother's Date of Birth - As he don't have Birth Certificate.

6. Marriage Certificate (Nikah Nama) and Its English translation

Problems:

1. My birth certificate shows my Mother name and Father name which is required but one mistake I see is on my Birth Certificate is my father's father name (my grand father) names spelling are not matching with the other documents like on my dad passport, Affidavit of birth and on family registration certificate as well, My question is would that be a problem or I am OK with my Father's name on my certificate?

2. Marriage Certicate which is called Nikah Nama in my country has both my parents age issue, back in days they put approximate ages on the documents like they put 19 Years at the time of marriage for both parents but actual it was different (not matching with passport and Family registration Certificate. Do you think it would be a problem? I also need to translate those into English.

You help would be appreciated.

Advance Thanks

Name spellings are often problems with Pakistanis, they know that well; it should not be an issue.

All you have to do is tell them the truth, they understand that sometimes there can be problems with documents; spellings, dates, etc. What you can do and might help is getting 1 or better 2 affidavits of family member's that were present at the time of your parent's wedding.

Remember that you MUST give you original birth certificate to your parents; they will need to present it at the interview.
