Birth Certificate Error

[tampamike 1]

It would be enough proof for you and I. Unfortunately, NSO will require a little more than that.

I have been waiting for that question to come up. She has no telephone. We chatted for several months online before she borrowed her cousin's phone so that we could talk to each other. One of the first things she told me on the phone was " I am a male", no mention of a birth certificate, just " I am a male". You can imagine the things running through my mind. The following week we were chatting online and I just came out and asked. I could see her laughing on the cam. She promised me that she was born a woman. She then explained the birth certificate problem. I spent two weeks with her earlier this summer. I never really felt comfortable with the situation until I did my own extensive examination. Her daughter and C-section scar kind of put my mind at ease. Hopefully, we get this birth certificate fixed and the story has a happy ending.

I have my K1 package completed and ready to mail in. My fiance is from the Philippines. Her birth certificate has an error on it. The male box is checked instead of the female. I hear that birth certificate errors are quite common over there. She will be unable to get a passport with this birth certificate. Has anyone else encountered this problem before. Some people tell me that it will take a lawyer, big bucks, and a long time to fix. I know for a fact that NSO will not issue a gender corrected birth certificate without a court order. Others tell me that she can just get a sworn affadavit from two people that have known her since birth and attach it to the birth certificate, and this will allow her to get a passport. I don't want to send in my K1 paperwork until I feel pretty sure that we can have this fixed before she needs the passport. Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I hope I don't offend, but are you sure your fiancee is a woman? There are a lot of guys over there pretending to be women and some of them look quite beautiful.

I'm serious. One of my friends spent quite a bit of time and money on one such person before he found out SHE was a HE!

Ya, the C-section scar would probably be enough proof.
