Did you submit your birth certificate? Does it shows both your parents’ names?

Can you get letter from religious organization which performed the marriage?

Do you have other legal documents where both your parents names are listed?

Yes i did submit my birth certificate with both parents name on it ... my mom death certificate... but i did not include any affidavit or letter from friends and family who attended the wedding.. 

DONT KNOW WHY MY PRIVIOUS POST DELETED ???

Hello fellow members and experts, I have applied I130 in dec 2020  for my Dad.
Background : My Dad is widower and my mother passed away  So, I have my mother's death certificate but we donot have the marriage certificate of my Mom and Dad because in 70s registering a marriage was not really compulsary and in all the official Indian documents for my (mom and Dad) such as passport, adhaar, children birth certificate etc they have correctly listed the husband-wife name so nobody thought of having a need of getting a marriage certificate.

So in I130 i had provided my birth certificate, Mom's death certificate and other details, however, I got the RFE indicating:Submit Marriage Certificate of my Father
Father's Paternity and Ligitimation: Need marriage certificate to prove im born in wedlock 

What do we not have :
Marriage certificate: Unfortunately Punjab government is not issuing certificates in cases where one of the spouses have deceased, so we cannot get a certificate.

What do we have:
Mom's death certificate( has (dad's)husband's name on it), my birth certificate indicating name of parents, some joint Bank accounts with Mom and Dad lisitng all our names. Adhaar card of Mom and Dad listing spouse's name. Passport of Mom listing Dad's name as husband.

So what do we need to send in this case any opinion ? I thought my birth certificate would be sufficient but looks like they want more details. If an affidavit is required can someone suggest what should be mentioned in affidavit and is there any template available. Appreciate your help and guidance on this.

Hi everyone! I just called NVC and I was told that there isn't an interview scheduled for me just yet. I asked if they are still scheduling for December, for my country Romania and she said "unfortunately no, December is already full for the embassy in Bucharest".

So I'll be waiting the next thread January 2016 Interviews hihi

congratulations ..hope you will get interview date soon..

From what I've read, financial, medical and family emergencies are the grounds to get an expedite. In our case, the reasons my husband requested for an expedite on my interview was that my UAE residence visa will be expiring on January, and my mother-in-law suffered a stroke. Our CC was Oct 29, expedite approved on Nov. 13. Until now, no interview date. CEAC website shows IN TRANSIT yesterday, and READY today. So we're hoping to hear something from the embassy before the day ends.

i think they will send you instruction letter..and after that you can choose your own interview date..but i am not 100 % sure..good luck

Hello guys I just called and they give me an interview date for 9 December im happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
