My fiancè has her interview with U.S. consulate at Yerevan, Armenia in next few weeks, but unfortunately she have lost her Original Iranian birth certificate which is one the required document for the Embassy, it takes few months for Record Office to issue a duplicate copy of a lost BC, so she probably wont have her BC in had during her interview. But good news is we have an official translation of her birth certificate. So does anyone knows if the U.S. consulate will accept her official translated birth certificate instead of her original BC or not? We would be appreciate if we get some help here. THANK YOU ALL

The consulate will need her original birth certificate at the K1 interview. The translated copy will be needed for the AOS packet, along with the original of course.

She can still attend the interview and if all else goes well she will be given a 221g which just means that she needs to provide the missing document to the embassy as soon as she gets it in order for her case to continue processing. Depending on the embassy unfortunately this can add a lot of time to your journey. :unsure:

Request a new copy of the BC ASAP to prevent delay or search really hard for the old one.

Actually they did not ask for my original BC. The official translation, which is stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs is what they care about. Do not worry at all. Go ahead and schedule the interview.

I had my interview in montreal a week ago, they did not accept a notarized translated copy, they wanted an original birth certificate.

I was given a 221g and they told me they will process the visa once they receive it.

This probably added 2-3 months delay. Completely my fault for assuming things and not asking the embassy.

Hi! My fiancé will have his interview in Yerevan also. What airline will your fiancee take to Yerevan? I am having a hard time finding flights that are not with crazy long stops. can you share any wisdom with me?I cannot book him on iranian airlines as they don't accept USD for payment.

Thanks!

My fiance lives near to border of Iran and Armenia, so we decided to use land border instead of going to Tehran and fly from there, that would take her very long.
