My mother has been on holiday for over a month now and she won't be back until mid of December. My interview date is due at anytime now and I have asked my mother to go and get the affidavit notorised in Vietnam (where she is currently on holiday).

I'm worried that this might be a problem being that a Vietnamese notary notorising the affidavit instead of a British. Can i ask if anyone has had any experience with non birth certificates and how the Consulate treat such cases?

Any help would be grateful.

I have sent an email to the US Consulate for their opinion in this matter and have also asked if my father (who is currently in the UK) could write an affidavit in my mother's place to confirm my existence.

Also, is getting the affidavit notorised by a Notary the same or different from having the affidavit sworn in front of an "official authorised to tae oaths"? I hate these semantics. :huh:

Thanks
