I’m in the early stages of applying for an I-140 downgrade and an I-485 AOS, since my priority date just became eligible for filing under EB3 India.
I’m wondering if anyone here has any experience with the birth certificate requirement?
I don’t have access to my original birth certificate, but have a scanned copy from my parents. It’s handwritten in Hindi, and does NOT have my name on it.
Should I get it translated? Will USCIS need the original? Does anyone have any suggestions on who to contact for this?
Should I ask my parents in India to get a computerized regeneration of the original certificate from the local authorities and get it scanned?
Are there any alternative documents that could work?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
