Birth Certificate question

[bruins 14]

Hey guys quick question. In Vietnam a certified copy of my wife's birth certificate is only valid for 6 months,, by the time my package makes it to the NVC, it will already have been expired. What should I do in this case, will this create any issues?

Thanks

If you think that would be an issue at NVC, please keep another birth certificate handy (just in case). But I do not understand why it would expire. Does it have a expiry date stamped/written on it?

For the NVC it likely will not be an issue but she should also get another copy or two, one for you to send again if there is a problem and then another copy right before her interview to bring to the interview.

If you have any question that it will be a problem then that is good enough reason to do things the right way so there is no chance at an RFE.

I wasn't aware the certified copy is only valid for six months but assuming that is correct why not order it several months after the NOA1? Assume it will take four months for the NOA2 this means you will have your copy just before you get your NOA2 (assuming no delay). Then, assuming no significant delay in getting the file over to NVC you should be fine...

I don't think there is issue because the time you submitted is valid! My suggestion to you is consult with the First Consultant Group in California office. I got my daughter's birth abroad and her US passport with little cost but less headache for you! They also have office in Ho Chi Minh city that can help your wife to gather document in Viet Nam.
