Pakistani birth certificate

[uzair_tx 3]

I have submitted an I-130 and am getting documents ready for the next stage when it Allah goes to the NVC however I have a question.
My spouses Pakistani birth certificate is a B form written in the Urdu language. I'm being told by people that because it's an older form NADRA can't update it to the new English and Urdu form. Pls note I'm being told this by people not by NADRA. 
Can someone who has had to deal with such an issue in Pakistan tell me how did they handle it and satisfy the I 130 application and the NVC requirements. Did they get NADRA to update it with the new English\Urdu form? Did you get it translated privately in Pakistan and submit that? Did you have someone in the US translate it and then submit it? Are there any other options?
Thanks in advance for ur help.

I suggested yourself to contact NADRA and find out this situation of yours about the translation birth certificate from Urdu to English language,  from there you can clarify the exact details whether it's possible or not, before taking any difference stand on it.

Good luck 👍.

For clarification my message was autocorrected I did not mean to type "when it Allah goes to" it was supposed to be "when it all goes to"  Hope my mistype has not offended anyone and apologies if it did.

DO NOT UPDATE OLD DOCUMENTS.  OLD DOCUMENTS ARE MORE VALUABLE IN IMMIGRATION.

 

In Pakistan, new documents are often labelled as "LATE ENTRY", which causes significant issues in immigration..

 

An old, Urdu certificate is completely valid.  I know a few relatives who translated theirs and had no issues. 

They translated it privately, and the translator just added a statement saying that they are proficient in Urdu and English, and that they testify that the translation is accurate.
