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.

Yet again, great advice and counsel from Mr Rajiv Khanna, P.C. He is more than an attorney. He comes across as a deeply concerned and compassionate human beling eager to listen to one's situation/s and (immigration)circumstances. He's provided me plenty of legal ammunition and warewithal to resolve my son's immigration quandary. I am eagerly looking forward to paying him a courtesy call to express my profound thanks and gratitude. I hold him in high esteem for his eminence and knowledge of the US immigration laws and system.
