Applying for Mother's Green Card and Birth Certificate Issues
Question details
I am planning to file green card (I130/I1485) for my mother. She was born in 1949 in India and does not have her birth certificate. Only identity with date of birth she has is her passport and Aadhar card. She has visited US couple of times.
- I want to know is it required for her to submit birth certificate or a non-availability of birth certificate for I485?
- What are the options if these documents are not available?
- Does USCIS accept birth certificate from the Indian consulate in NY?
FAQ Transcript
Go ahead and get a certificate of non-availability if possible, get a birth certificate from New York, get two affidavits from people who were alive when she was born and submit all of that together.

I highly recommend Rajiv Khanna services, We used them for our corporate Green card sevices, It was a great experience working with them, they know the immigration law, and they do have ability to guide employers and employees properly. As of now Rajiv filed around 40 PERM LABOR applications for us, and I am proud to say that all of them got approved. Couple of cases went thru audits also. Our filrm point of contact was Heather, she did a great job for the company and also to the employees. Normally Attorney offices won't entertain to talk to company employees, but in Rajiv office, Heather is so kind to answers our employee calls and made them aware of the case updates, as an employer we felt so happy when our employees experiencing good and great service.
