Question about Birth Certificate

[Phil413 14]

Hi,

 

My fiancée are preparing for the K1 visa interview in Bogota, Colombia.  We are making final preparations by getting her birth certificate translated into English.  I don't think the translation will be an issue because she is going to have someone professionally translate it into English.  But I'm concerned about the original birth certificate because the font on the form is faded.  As you can see, the actual information that was typed is very legible, which is the most important part.  See the attachment.  She requested a copy of the birth certificate and it looks the same as the original.  Do you think this will be a problem for the interview or when we start the AOS process here?  If this will be an issue, how do we get a better copy if the one provided to her is just as faded as the original?  Thoughts/suggestions?

 

Thanks!

You've both done the best you can with what is available.  Go with it.

 

That you asked for an official copy and the copy is faded in the same places is, in my opinion, a good sign.  It means that your "original" and your "copy" look the same.  The important details are there and can be read.

 

Even in the U.S., there's no way to go back and fix a "faded" copy of a birth certificate.
