Birth Certificate Rejected

[Alberto Junior 12]

NVC rejected my Birth Certificate, but didn't give me any explanation.
The front of my birth certificate is colored, but the back is black and white. I received it like this from the authorities.
Do you guys think the "black and white" part is the problem?

No.  The issues I recall are usually due to incorrect issuing authority, illegibility, or short form birth certificates.

Start here to make sure you are submitting the proper document.   Also to be helpful it you indicated what country was involved here.

Thank you

I found out what is wrong with it.

They want a new model of the Birth Certificate that my country (Angola) is issuing. But those new models are only available for people who were born from 2011 and above.

I'll have to resubmit  the same one that they rejected and explain it to them.

There's no way I can get the new model because they would have to cheat the system.

 

Yes, my country is Angola, Africa.

Thank you.

That sounds odd, here in the states one is able to get a duplicate copy of their birth certificate.

But I saw the note about the decades long civil war impacting Conservatórias (registry offices) ability to keep records.

I wonder if there is anybody else from Angola that may be able to shed some light on this subject.

Almost everyone that a I know from Angola who are in the US, went there as student or tourist and then adjusted their status.

I was able to get a certified copy of my birth certificate (handwritten in some parts). But because it's a copy from the original old model, it has different characteristics from the new one (computerized one).

 

And the Birth Certificate that NVC wants and is describing, is the new one (computerized one).

But I'm not able to get the new model because it's only available for those who were born above 2011. 

Therefore, I'm stuck with the older model, even if I ask for a new Birth Certificate, it will just be a certified copy of the of the old model one.

A student visa or a tourist visa can not be the basis for their adjustment of status.

They adjust after they get married, and others get asylum.
