    NVC Checklist Clarification

    in National Visa Center (Dept of State)

    Posted

    I sent in the IV and AOS packages for my parents on Jan 27, and I got a checklist today saying that i need to submit my (i am the petitioner) birth certificate. But no where on the IV and AOS cover sheet said it needs to be included nor the offical website. I always thought that the proof of our relationship WAS established during the USCIS stage.

    ______F - PETITIONER BIRTH CERTIFICATE:____________________________

    Please submit a copy of the petitioner's original birth certificate or a copy of the certified birth document,
    obtained from the issuing government authority. The original birth certificate must contain the
    petitioner's place and date of birth and names of both parents. If the birth certificate is a certified copy of
    the original, it must come from the issuing government authority and it must contain annotation by the
    issuing government authority indicating that it is an extract from the official records.
    If a birth was never officially recorded, or if it is impossible to obtain a birth certificate because records
    have been destroyed or the appropriate government authority will not issue one, you should obtain a
    certified statement from the appropriate government authority stating the reason your birth record is not
    available. Please submit this with secondary evidence of birth. For example, a baptismal certificate that
    contains the date and place of birth and both parent's names providing the baptism took place shortly
    after birth; an adoption decree for an adopted child; or an affidavit from a close relative, preferably the
    applicant's mother, stating the date and place of birth, both parent's names, and the mother's maiden
    name. An affidavit must be executed before an official authorized to take oaths or affirmations.
    Information regarding the procedure for obtaining birth certificates is usually available from the
    Embassy or Consulate of the country concerned.
    All documents not in English or the official language of the country in which the visa will be applied for
    must be accompanied by a certified translation. Your translation must include a statement signed by the
    translator that states the following:
    - Translation is accurate, and
    - Translator is competent to translate.
    Did I misread something and that should have been included in my packages?
    Thanks in advance!
