Ciudad Juarez Interview and Mexican Birth Certificate

[rjm65 0]

Our case was forwarded to CDJ in June 2006, last week we received our packet stating my wife's interview is set for June 7!

We want to go as prepared as can be, and I believe we have everything in order except for one detail. My wife's birth was not registered in Mexico until 1980 (she was born in 1967). She was raised by her grandmother, and it wasn't until the school that my wife was attending requested a copy of the certificate that her grandmother discovered the birth had not been registered. My wife tells me that while not the norm, it's not uncommon for births not to have been registered at the time of birth (going back to the 60's and possibly 70's).

When my wife applied for her Laser Visa Border Crossing Card, she says she had to also provide a copy of her parents birth certificates and a copy of her older brother's birth certificate. She did receive her Border Crossing Card.

Having said that, should we obtain copies of her parents birth certificates to have present for the interview? Has anyone face a similiar situation? Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Raymond

I would call CDJ and ask them. Remember to get the name of the person that you talked with. Also, it can't hurt to bring the parents certificates with you anyway. Buena suerte
