Which Birth Certificate is acceptable?

[Musashii 21]

I received RFE for Birth Certificate despite sending in the Original one which is computerized and in English.

NVC has rejected it again and the Customer Service Representative will not let me talk to a supervisor and keeps saying I need to send one in native language which is Urdu.

Now, they do not issue ones in Urdu anymore but only the bilingual ones (English & Urdu) on same page which is by NADRA, Pakistan.

So, if I send in that bilingual one, will it be acceptable? Any other Pakistani had this experience? I also asked if there was any way I could get the bilingual one and bring it with me to interview and if they could just forward my case to the embassy anyway upon which the CSR guy said, you can write to us that you are unable to provide the requested document and will will have to close your case anyway.

My wife received a call from supervisor who told her that I need to send in a birth certificate in Urdu since I am from Pakistan.

Can anyone tell me how to obtain a birth certificate in Urdu because all I know is that they give bilingual one (English & Urdu) on same page.

Alot of us on this forum told you to send the Nadra birth certificate which is bilingual, and we also stated that they were accepted. I dunno what you were waiting for!

I truly am grateful for your valuable advice brother but when the supervisor called my wife on phone, he told her that they are waiting for an "Urdu Only" birth certificate since I am Pakistani and official language of Pakistan is Urdu. My wife was on Skype with me and I said we only have the bilingual one. Then the supervisor said if we send the bilingual one, we must also get a letter/annotation from the respective authority that they issue only the bilingual one and it is an extract from the official records from Registrar of Births and Deaths, that is the only way they will accept it.

Now, I hope you will understand why I was so confused and why I was searching for an Urdu only birth certificate. As for an update, I have applied for the NADRA bilingual birth certificate and have also requested the Union Council guy to sign and endorse the letter for me which he said that he will have to ask the Administrator about it since they never had to issue any such letter before as the bilingual certificate alone is acceptable.

Just starting my own journey now...I guess this means I should send in the original/handwritten Urdu one + NADRA bilingual one?
