No Record of Birth Certificate

[laradee23 0]

Hi There,

          I have not been in this forum in a long time. I started my visa journey in 2006 and I came here in the US in 2007. I am so thankful for all the information that I got here that made my visa journey successful. I am now planning to petition my mother to come here in the US. The first problem that I am encountering is that my mom does not have a record of her Birth Certificate in the Philippines which is needed to be able to get her passport. I requested a copy of her birth certificate from Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and what we got was a Record of No Birth. I found out that if you were born on or before 1950 you don't need a birth certificate just the PSA Authenticated Certificate of No Birth Record and  Affidavit of Two disinterested persons attesting to the identity of the applicant to get a passport.  So, my question is will it be a problem when I start sending the requirements for the petition documents? Would I still need to do a delayed registration of birth for my mother?

         Would greatly appreciate to hear from anyone who had a similar situation with mine. I will be happy to hear your parents visa journey. Thank you for taking time. Looking forward to hear from you all.

IR5 beneficiary's birth certificate is not required for the I-130 petition.  For the NVC/embassy stage, here's what the Department of State says --

 

"Alternate Documents: (Will only be accepted when the certificate issued by PSA indicates “No record available”). Other pertinent documents determined by the adjudicating consular officer to his/her satisfaction for visa purposes.  May include: Personal copy of birth not available from PSA, LCR, and National Archives.  Baptismal certificate from the church or substantiated by affidavits from two disinterested persons who have personal knowledge of the birth, death, or marriage, Certificate of Foundling issued by the Inter-Country Adoption Board (ICAB)."

Hello,

Did you tried applying from your local registry?  if available in the local registry or LCR, then all you have to do is endorsed it to PSA. As this is just a constant requirement that one needed to have. NG
