Hi, so there is some complication about my birth certificate and my name.
I am interviewing in London in a few days and have a Pakistani birth certificate.
My birth certificate had a minor spelling error (think ‘a’ to ‘e) in my surname, whereas I’ve been using the ‘correct’ passport spelling of my name all my life.
During the NVC stage, my birth certificate was initially rejected on the basis that it was an ‘older’, type-writer version that is no longer used today. Because that was all I had at the time, I was told to just resubmit with some comments stating this and I got a deedpoll to support the ‘name change’ just in case which got it approved.
However, after I was close to being DQ’d, I infact was able to get a hold of the ‘new’, digitalized birth certificate which had my correct spelling all along. So I guess my name wasn’t spelled incorrectly on the system after all, I just didn’t know.
My question is should I bring the new birth certificate with me to the interview or just take the older one only since it did eventually get accepted at the NVC.
& if so, should I upload it CEAC beforehand or wait to see if they ask me to at the interview since I know I am not getting approved straightaway (medical is after interview) so will have to wait for the approval anyways.
Hi, I received instructions from the London embassy to print off a 'courier-in' receipt to send additional documents via DX courier services free of charge. On the USVisa website, the nearest location to me is over an hour away. Do people usually have to go in-person to their nearest DX location to drop it off or is there another easier way?
