Can I know while filing i130 for your parents, did you upload their birth certificate? Because it asks for our birth certificate and not parents at that time. So wanted to check

i uploaded both mine as well as parents.

While filing I130 it doesnt ask for parents birth certificate, so in which section did you upload their upload certificate any idea?

i dont remember clearly but that is how you prove your relation. I think you can upload as many docs as you want, just rename them according to doc type and upload. I just put up a link below, see if it helps.

Yea to prove relationship we need to upload our birth certificate which shows both parents name on it

but parents birth certificate is needed when case goes to NVC ideally

that is correct but i think i uploaded it either way. In my case was it beneficial i am not sure but both my parents have their interview this friday so i guess it wasnt a bad decision.

Did you also need to submit their marriage certificate? Do you know if birth certificate is not available then what documents they can submit alternatively?

I think I submitted their marriage certificate and if you don’t have birth you can use school leaving certificate

For applying for your father, marriage certificate is compulsory as there is a section which proves he is your father. So, yes i uploaded that

birth certificate of parents i have not uploaded while filing i130 as they dont have and its not mandatory but it will be needed later while submitting NVC docs. So, i am trying to get their birth certificate done from our consulate. Alternate to that are many other things, but, DNA test is the most accurate thing you can get as proof if birth certificate is not there i believe
