Hello,
I am a naturalized US citizen and I filed I130 for my mother. I today received status update saying "LATE REGISTERED OR UNREGISTERED BIRTH CERTIFICATE". It further states that the birth certificate is not sufficient because it was registered about 15 years after my actual birth date.
I am from Nepal and I think we registered my birth certificate late because we actually never required it and the original hospital certificate cant be found anymore.
It says I need to provide secondary documents showing that my mother and I are related and should provide following documents
Medical records or health records;
Church records or religious documents;
Early school records;
Insurance records;
Employment records;
Financial records (tax returns);
Census or tribal records;
Government records or identification documents.
Any evidence submitted should include:
The name of the child and the child’s parent(s);
Dates (e.g. dates of the child’s birth, religious event, school attendance, hospital admittance,
etc.);
Stamp, seal, signature of issuing official, authorized personnel, etc.
I have been looking but we just cant find any document that has my mother's name, my name and the birth date all together.
The other option they mention is affidavits from people stating the relationship and that the birth is legit but this carries less weight it says.
Finally, other option they mention is DNA test to show we are parent/child. But I dont know how its possible since my mother is in Nepal and I am in USA.
"The test must be performed by a laboratory accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks" and they are mostly located in USA.
Any suggestion is helpful. I was so excited since the timeline was reaching near and this news is really depressing.
