• Have they specifically asked for school leaving certificate or provided some other options?
• Does beneficiary have other IDs showing birth date?
• Is it possible for you to get affidavits from beneficiary’s parents/close relative?

Also the parent whose last name is different on the passport and that parent’s birth certificate. It holds same thing about that paren’s name for my birth certificate along with 10th grade mark sheet.

Pls read this article and see if it helps:

The link also has information about secondary evidence and some sample affidavits including one about variation in name which I think you will find useful.

Thanks a lot for the info. In the secondary evidence I have my parent’s PAN card same name as on my birthdate certificate.
1)you think this along with 2 affidavits should work to prove relationship to the parent? The rfe asked prove suresh kumar and suresh kumar arora are both the same people.(My birth certificate has Suresh Kumar and no last name).
2) I can prove for the second rfe by submitting school record.

Hi,
I updated my answer above with more links. Please read them, I think they will help. There is one sample affidavit to show that different names belong to the same person. Personally, I’d provide multiple documents in the response - self affidavits as per the links above, affidavits from others confirming the information and also whatever more secondary evidence I can (Aadhar, PAN, Driving License, phone, water bill etc.)

One more question: What status are your parents in currently and when they did they enter US last time?

[Sid4me]

Well had a b1 visa but right now not in us. Do you think it’s best to get the docs submitted from an attorney or no need? I am only concerned if I have to make any appeals, then may need one. Suggestions?

[verbose]

Frankly, I think its a matter of personal preference and how comfortable you feel with the requirements and documentation they need. It involves reading all the requirements in detail and preparing documentation and foreseeing any possible objections and addressing them proactively. If you are not feeling confident/prepared with all this or might not have sufficient time to do this, I would definitely recommend getting services of an attorney. Also, it might be possible to add an attorney at later stage also in some cases also if expert representation is needed.

Good luck with your decision!
