AOS interview and but no original Birth Cert for US Citizen

[cimmy 0]

I live in MA and I have my I 485 AOS interview on 31st of July 2009 in Boston. I have an approved I-130. I am a widow. My husband passed away in June of 2008 after 18 months of marriage. Because of his death, I cannot get some of the documents requested for the AOS interview. For one, I cannot get the birth certificate. I have no idea where he kept the origianal. We submitted a copy for the I-485 application but I cannot find the original. Since he was born out of wedlock, MA law prohibits anyone who is not on the birth record from getting a copy of the birth certificate. Only his mother is on the certificate and she is too sickly to make the trip to the City hall to get a copy.

Does anyone know what happens if you do not have the original birth certificate of the citizen (petitioner)

Hi, i think copy will be enough. i took my wife's birth certificate and it was in Italian language and he took it with no problem.

Good Luck. and remember dont answer any question before he finish his question. let him say what every he wants to say and then when he finish answer.

Good Luck.

I live in Boston and I needed a copy of my father-in-laws birth certificate. I went to city hall and requested one, all I needed was his full name and date of birth. I was never asked if I was related to him in any way. I paid the fee and left 20 mins later with the certificate.

I dont know who told you you cant get a copy of your late husbands birth certificate in MA because that is not true.

Tay,

Your father in law must have been born to married parents....I physically went to the registry and was denied the certificate because he was born out of wedlock and I am not on the birth record. Please see this website http://www.cityofboston.gov/registry/registerbirth.asp.

It states:-

If the person was born out of wedlock, only those individuals named on the record may obtain them and positive identification will be required, such as your driver's license. Also, these cannot be mailed to a post office box address.
