Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I am making a post today to ask a question for any petitions from NY state or anyone that might be able to assist:
My mother has finally received an interview date for April 20th of 2026 however, my "lawyer" today stated that my birth certificate would not be sufficient as it is not a "long form" document. I contacted vitachek for New York state and they stated it would be 150 days until they can even begin processing my request for a new one. I am currently panicking as we only have one month until the interview and i don't want to wait any longer than the three years we've already been working for this.
I just don't understand why it wouldn't be sufficient as it was documentarily approved / qualified in the CEAC portal? Would anyone be able to provide information regarding this?
(I have attached an example one i found on the internet that looks exactly like mine including my name, parents name, city, and registrar)
Thank you all.
