According to the paperwork it says.

Birth Certificates: The certificate must show that it is an extract from official records and must bear the seal of the issuing authority. The certificate must state the names of both parents. Canadian Commemorative certificate and short-form or wallet-size certificate are not acceptable for visa purposes. Please bring a photocopy if you need your original back.

Unobtainable Birth Certificates: in rare cases, it may be impossible to obtain a birth certificate because records have been lost or destroyed through war. In such a case, secondary evidence may be submitted for consideration, such as baptismal certificate, hospital certificate, school records, and/or a notarized affidavit from a close relative, preferable your parents.

My spouse's birth certificate does not contain her parents names. Do you think I would be okay with the birth certificate and a notarized affidavit from her parents?

I would be getting that BC right away if it doesn't have the correct info. they are normally easy enough to get, unless you have extraordinary circumstances. Not knowing isnt a good enough reason. Sask. only took a week to get mine.

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Where was she born? If in Canada, she'll need to get the "long form" from whatever province she was born in since those are not "unobtainable".

Andre's birth certificate ONLY had his mother's name on it. We've had no problems.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Both good suggestions. I wouldn't hesitate to use an online service, you didn't say where in the UK she is from, but I see there are even some Gov. sites for ordering the certificates.
