Birth Certificate original in english and not national language

[divs76 0]

My AOS package is ready.

I am from India, the issued birth certificate is in english language in original.

I have anathor issued by the municipality in hindi (national language)

To avoid confusion I am submitting only a copy of the one in english.

Do you think they might not accept this as the original and ask for a birth cert in hindi accompanied with a translation in english.

I saw a post where someone got a RFE for something like this..so asking..

To be on the saver side, do i submit an affidavit for the same as well. I have a copy of that.

Suggestions plz.

Certified English translation must accompany with your birth certificate, note: do not send the original copy of your birth certificate make copies and send a copy of your birth certificate with english translation

The birth cert issued to me by the municipality was in english as well as hindi.

2 original copies, one in english, the other in hindi.

Now i am submitting a photocopy of the one which in only in english.

Its not a translation, but a copy of the original issued in english.

is this fine?

Hi,

my birth certificate comes in 3 languages: German/English/French and I sent it in the way it was with my AOS application in April (without an additional translation) - never received a RFE for it.

Yes, that is what I meant, I would send the English one in only, so they do not get confused by he Hindi one. In the instructions for filing I485 it only says 'all documents not in English must be accompanied by an English translation' so you really should be fine with your English birth certificate.

They accepted mine, although it was issued by my home country and I did not send a certified translation with it.
