I have difficulty to fix the said matter since im already residing at Manila and i can no longer retrieve the records at our Parish since it was a long time ago.How vital is the baptismal certificate during interview?Also, I am soliciting your opinions how could i possibly fix the problem, is a notarized affidavit of mine stating my real birthday will suffice? Thanks in advance for all your inputs!

I brought my Baptismal cert during the interview but they did not ask it...What is the most important is the NSO BC...Don't worry about that, it's just an additional docs that for me not necessary...Good luck!!!

If you have a child/ren going with you, theyd probably ask you to submit that. During our interview, the prescreener asked for our children's baptismal cert with their birth cert. They didnt ask for my birth or baptismal certificates :)

Baptismal certificate only comes into play if you are late BC registered! If not they don't ask for it.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Haole is right. If your Birth Certificate is not late registered, then it's not necessary to bring your Baptismal Certificate.

You'll be fine. Good luck! :)

I was even registered late but the ConsuL did not ask for my baptismal cert.you can fix your wrong birth date in your Baptismal by getting an affidavit from a lawyer.Just that easy.

I was asked for my baptismal but i didn't have it with me,and it didn't cause any trouble for me-luckily.There's 2 things i could possibly advice about your problem.Get yourself second baptism and put the right birthdate.Or,have a sworn affidavit of any of your Godparents who were present during your baptism.Only do this option if you're too worried about it.But if you think you're good to go even withought baptismal certificate then be it.Follow your instinct-interviews should not be taken as "Bahala na".Goodluck

LOVE IS PATIENT, LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY, IT DOES NOT NOT BOAST, IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING, IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED, IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS, ALWAYS TRUST, ALWAYS HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERSE. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
