Hello all,
I have gotten approval of I129f in the mail and am just getting prepared for the packet 3 to be sent to my wife.
I discovered that my wife's birth certificate doesn't have her name specified so I looked up the faq on USCIS site and found the following:
Each applicant must submit an original and a clear photocopy of his/her birth certificate. The certificate should include the applicant’s name, date & place of birth, the names of both parents, an annotation by the issuing office indicating that it is an extract from its official records, and the seal of the issuing office, i.e. the municipal authorities or the village authorities (gram panchayat or talati-cum-mantri). The certificate must be in the original, official language of the state in which you were born.
Unobtainable or incomplete birth certificates
If your birth was not recorded, please submit a “no record of birth registration” letter from the relevant municipality or village authorities along with secondary evidence (see below). If your birth record has been destroyed or the municipality or village authorities will not issue one, submit a letter from the municipality or village authorities stating so along with secondary evidence of birth. If your name is not mentioned in the birth certificate, submit the certificate along with secondary evidence. If any details are missing in the birth certificate or if there is a discrepancy regarding your date of birth or name, submit the certificate along with secondary evidence. If your birth was registered more than three years after you were born, you must submit the certificate along with a magistrate’s order concerning the late registration.
Acceptable secondary evidence of birth
Following are examples of secondary evidence of birth (which should also include your name, date and place of birth; names of both parents; and the seal of the issuing office): a baptismal certificate, an adoption decree, a school record, a notarized affidavit from a close relative (a parent, a close relative, a neighbor or friend who was present at the time of your birth) on the appropriate stamp paper which must be sworn before a First Class Magistrate. The person making this affidavit must state how he/she knows your family and how he/she knows the facts of your birth.

I have a question as to the part that says: "a notarized affidavit from a close relative (a parent, a close relative, a neighbor or friend who was present at the time of your birth) on the appropriate stamp paper which must be sworn before a First Class Magistrate. The person making this affidavit must state how he/she knows your family and how he/she knows the facts of your birth." I was wondering if someone had an example of this affidavit or if someone can give me some got vocabulary to put on this letter
Thank you everyone in advance.
Khurram

Andre's birth certificate was missing his father's name. No issues for us.
However, I think with something as important as her name, I would request another copy. It could be something as simple as a clerical error.
