[Muzammil anwaar 1]

Hi all, hope you are doing fine. I need your help please. I need to know that what will be the affect if my Date of birth different on birth certificate from ID card and Passport? Our application is under process in USCIS. We have received NOA1 in feb 2021. few days difference is there. 
1. should we replace with updated certificate with older one before RFE or wait for RFE.?

2. they will reject our application or just send RFE in this case. ? 
 Your suggestions will be very helpful for me. Thanks in advance.

DOB should match, that is one indicator of your identity. You should get your IDs and Passport to match your date of birth.

No just one is changed on birth certificate other all documents has same or original one. Its the local government clerical mistake. Now they will update it and provide us new birth certificate. But we are so worried because our documents in USCIS with old birth certificate. We couldn't focus on the date.It has issued first time in jan 2021 when we sent the visa application. Just 28 days date difference.

Get it fixed and keep it ready. USCIS will probably send you RFE

Thank you so much. Is it a major issue or normal? And when we provide them updated one will they accept it ?

You may also want to keep or obtain some evidence of the official birth record from the hospital to confirm the birth date, just in case. USCIS won't know which birth certificate to rely on as the correct date.

This really valid point. Yes the main council office of my city will update it in their records. I am from Pakistan. Birth certificate issued from city councils. I think embassy will confirm from them in interview time. Someone asked me that USCIS will not focus on it, they will focus on my national ID card and passport. May be.

My husband is from Pakistan, so I understand that correcting a birth certificate  with the NADRA system and attestation is a process (his is from Karachi) but he also had a birth certificate from the hospital he was born. 

 

I'm not sure about embassy confirming this. I don't think he had this done on his case.

Can you please ask him that how he correct it ? Did he file a case in court or directly through NADRA AND city council? It would be appreciated if u guide me please. Really tough procedure. I daily visiting the government offices for it.

Hi Muzammil, 

My wife just told me about your situation, Since i assumed based on your application timeline, you are in Pakistan..following are the document you will require to change or correct your date of birth on your birth record/certificate. 

 

Birth Certificate of NADRA (with wrong date of birth)

Matriculation Degree

CNIC

Father’s CNIC (not mandatory but just incase)

Union council birth registration certificate (if require you must have it as well)

If its issued by Nadra take it to any main or district nadra office (Not a Kiosk) some Union Council do it too ( if you have good contacts with them) 

 

after you get your corrected birth certificate, make sure to get it attested from Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pakistan - Also from your local Notary and or Union Council 

 

Now you USCIS application scenario, 

 

if you got NOA1 per your timeline, heres a few things that you might come across

 

1. RFE - Request for Evidence (which is what i'm thinking), where you will require to submit your corrected DOB Cert. 
2. Application Rejection - Due to records not matching (because of the form i129f application you filled will have your date of birth) hence USCIS will ask you to submit your application again from the scratch. "it might sound scary but its actually only due to records mismatch"

 

Now this all may sound horrific, But honestly its all a process, As long as you fix your record and do as USCIS instructs you to with accurate and correct details your application will be approved i.a.

Here's the another question that USCIS will not focus on passport and ID card copy? These are the also main documents. They should issue RFE.

USCIS looks at all the documents, they will see your passport your ID card and your birth certificate, if the record doesn't match on any of the document USCIS will reply back with whatever they (USCIS) deem necessary. It can be an RFE or it can be Rejection (Which means you file i129f) again with correct details. 

 

Tell me, Which date of birth did you mention on your application ? the one on Birth Certificate or the one on passport or CNIC. 

If you mentioned the one on the passport or CNIC then it should be good you will most probably get an RFE to provide with correct DOB Certificate. 

 

Also RFE means add another 90 days to your processing time.  

 

this is normal process and you are not the first one to have this discrepancy while filing. So just get your records straight and follow the procedure.
