Question regd. Indian birth certificate

[Delhiguy 0]

I have sent my birth certificate along with the other required I-129 docs to my US fiance but she has not sent it in yet.

However, I was just looking at my birth certifcate again and realised that for the name of the child (me, of course) the answer written was "Not written". This is since birth certificates were, at that time, registered without names of the babies as Hindu norms required their names to be decided after about 10 days in a ceremony. My father's and mother's names are there of course. Since my passport is under renewal, I didn't send the passport copies and am now getting worried about the certifcate, will that be aceptable????

Maybe I should ask my fiance to write about the Hindu norm and why the name isnt there....in the cover letter for the package, what do you think?

Also, the back pages of the certificates are blank - do i need to send that too - stating that is the back copy ?

I have added an English translation for the birth certifacte, in fact, I got it done by the registrar of births and deaths himself, so its an English translation of the birth certifcate by the same authority, even though that also does not state my name.

Your fiance won't need to send in your birth vertificate unless they request it. She only needs to send in hers to show she is a US citizen.

The Delhi Embassy is where your birth certificate may come into play and they will understand Hindu customs so don't worry.

Delhiguy,

Can you get the birth certificate updated to reflect your legal name? As of late, the occurrence of an RFE for the beneficiaries birth certificate is becoming frequent.

If it will not delay your application too much, I would suggest you get the BC changed. Of course, sending the birth certificate is not required, but it may head off a possible RFE.

In any case, you will definitely need a birth certificate for future processing. One without your legal name will be problematic.
