Certified Daughter'sBirth Ce rtificate vs Passport

[SonofBaraka 1]

My wife has a 14-year old daughter, living in the Philippines, who is NOT traveling to the states and has no interest in coming here for at least 6 years - if then. She has a valid passport, a copy of which we have. In your opinion, would that obviate the necessity of her mother spending weeks, if not longer, getting her birth certificate certified?

What evidence are you trying to provide or use it for.  Why do you need a certified BC?

In a list of documents needed at her interview is the need for a certified copy of the applicant's children. I can look it up and copy the list. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but that's what it says. If you are unaware of the need for this, please share.

Without reading the list and trying to put something in context I don't know.   I agree that it is nonsense for a child not applying for a Visa

It is not in the packet 3 instructions I sent you.

It would only be needed if the petition is for the daughter.

Some consulates have this requirement.  Auckland for example requires applicants to bring BCs for all children, regardless of whether they're immigrating.
