K1 Visa Mumbai - I have a birth certificate but the name of my mother on it and my passport are different. What should I do?

[Parul Lance 0]

Hello, I am the applicant and I have a query. In the packet I received from Mumbai it mentioned that I need to carry my birth certificate with me but I don't have one. I don't think my parents even collected that from the hospital, ever. So in this case what should I do? Can this be a problem at the interview? Is there anything else I can carry at its place? Can this affect our case and get us denied? Please help, I am freaking out.

You’ll need your birth certificate. Find a way to get it. In the meantime, I’d expect 221g based on a missing document.

if you do not have a birth certificate and your birth was not registered then you will have to submit a "Non Availability Certificate" from the municipality stating it was not registered. 

 

Either the birth cert or Non-Availability certificate is required to be submitted otherwise you may get 221g for missing document.

Hey, I have a query and I am an applicant. My birth certificate and my passport say different names for my mother. Her maiden name (Prem) was unofficially changed after marriage (common practice back then in India) but by mistake she used her old name at the hospital (habit). Now I have a notarized document which says that her old name (Prem) and new name (Preeti) belongs to the same person and all that. Is that enough? All my school documents mention her post marriage name (Preeti) which is why passport has that name. Should I do something else? Is that going to be a problem?

What if I told you that I have a Birth certificate but the name of my mother on that is different from what I have on my passport then what would you suggest? My mother's name was unofficially changed after marriage and by mistake she mentioned her pre-marriage name at the hospital at the time of my birth. All my school documents say her changed name, only the birth certificate doesn't.

I would say why didn't you say this in the first place

Because I mentioned that my parents never picked up the corrected birth certificate. They say they asked for it but I don't believe them. So right now what I have is I don't even know what it is. If it's even legit.
