AOS I-485 Interview

[Mmagic 127]

I have a question, I received an interview letter today for AOS through marriage. In the letter, they ask for quite a few things and one of them is My husband, the petitioner Birth Certificate. Are they strict on having the BC since he lost it and does not have one? For him to get one it will take months since he is from another country.

They are very strict when asking for documentation. Make it happen!

The birth certificate is pretty much the most important identifying document....yes, obviously they will be strict about it. There are thousands of people on here who are from another country and make it happen, so I'm sure he can too! Most of the time you can actually just order it online. You can often even get an English certified birth certificate that way as well which saves some hassle to have it translated later. Get a few copies of it while you are already at it bc he will need it at every step of his immigration journey.

 

If the info on your profile is true and you guys went through K1 he should already have a birth certificate. jfyi...

There's a reason it is always recommended to get 2-3 original copies of everything in case needing them later. We made sure to get 3 original copies before hand to ensure had a copy for each stage.

 

Have you looked online? Months seems a bit off the actual time frame probably. Think the Philippines, if ordered online and shipped to the US can have you a copy in 3-4 weeks. I would think Singapore wouldn't be much different.

Yes, the information on my profile is true. I am the applicant, his birth certificate just turned out missing recently. It was in a file along with all the papers we processed since K1 visa.

yes, always get a few certified copies of things like this when you are not residing in your home country anymore. I brought three. See whether he can order them online.  Hopefully they'll make it on time.

My husband from American Citizen from Jordan, he will try to find out how long it takes to have one sent to him. There is no Online service for this so it has to be done by a family member in Jordan.

Someone just posted about this the other day. You can order them via phone          Nvm this was to obtain a police certificate from Jordan.

I was wrong, you could call for a police certificate from Jordan, not birth certificate. Or maybe you can do for that too, not sure. Def get a few more copies this time. It should serve as a lesson, especially when you are from a country where it seems to be pretty inconvenient to get a new document from.
