I am a swedish citizen and got a 221g for the k1 visa. Reason being i was born in Japan because my father was working there at the time and they are requesting an orginal Japanese birth certificate. I have no way of obtaining one and have called every embassy and tried but to no avail. If anyone can help me in this matter please contact me. I was born in Kitakyushu, 2003 and both my parents are swedish citizens. We do not have any copies of a japanese birth certificate and I did provide the american embassy with my swedish birth certificate (personbevis 120 alla relationer) but it wasn't enough.
