Since, we are in India, my son is a citizen what's to file for Our green card , we don't have Nom availability of certificate, as you suggested we will make an affidavit notarized, but let me ask you can we make an affidavit couple of months old. Like we are unable to visit US due to Covid, and we don't know when things settle. How current the affidavit should be
Hello, I always follow your channel , they are very informative and to the point ...Thankyou for the great work. My parents were born before 1970 . Do they need to provide a NABC ?
Thank Reddy & Neumann for this great video. When I checked with my employer-provided immigration attorney, this is what they say. So should I still get affidavits from parents? "It seems that all affidavits come from family friends for you and your wife. If possible, we generally ask that the applicant’s parents or close relatives provide birth affidavits." I already got the affidavits from our family friends who know us since our birth. So should it be ok or still get the affidavits from Parents?
Thank you for making Video on this, it is a big help! However I have quick question, what about whole name is wrong on birth certificate? I mean affidavit will work in this case?
I am filing for my parents, why don’t I send all those documents in 1 go to avoid any RFE’s? As RFE might delay the petition If I am filing for my parents, is there’s going to be an interview? Husband wife I understand but interview for parents petition….weird
Please Help - Urgent! I received a RFE for birth certificate as it didn't have my name. I was able to get the birth certifcate from India with my full name. However, it has only my parents first name and not their last name. Will this be a problem? I have also obtained affidavit from india - from two maternal uncles and my father. The notarized affidavits have my parents full name accurately called out.
I am confused to accept a new offer. as my new employer wants to hire me immediately and as per the current trend in EB-2, maybe my pd becomes current. I can't ask below thing to my new employer's attorney as well as my current employer. my PD is feb-2019 under EB-2 1) What happens if I change jobs in 1 month after filing my I-485 and my I-485 is still pending? 2) if I change job before filing I-485 and my PD becomes current and my new employer file my GC how soon I get new I-140 with premium/normal processing. and then I fill my I-485? 3) Any time limit to file I-485 after PD becomes current? ( assume changed job and new employer file gc and still that in processing and not received new I-140)
what about birth certificates for parents who were born in undivided India? they do not have one and also the local authority is now overseas. If parents are >70 years of age, do they still need a BC or affidavit if they are filing for adjustment of status? TIA
Thank you Reddy and team for such wonderful important details. I have birth certificate but i see 2 problems in that. 1st is my first name is only there in the field Name meaning just with first name and not last name. 2nd there is a miss match in the month of my DOB compare to my school certificates and passport. Please suggest can I approach home town Govt office and get it corrected.? Appreciate if you could respond on this. Thank you.!

I got an RFE for my birth certificate. I had actually not submitted it with my AOS package. After working with my state government, I was able to obtain the birth certificate but the registration date is 11yrs after my birth. How do I respond to that RFE? These are the documents I have currently, please let me know what to include from below, or to include all. Do I need any additional documents? 1. I have a birth certificate which is registered late and eng translation is added on it line by line . 2. I also have two affidavits of birth from my 2 relatives who were present during my birth. 3.
