Born before 1970 pl help on Birth certificate matter

[sricheruk]

I was born before April 1970 and I do not have a birth certificate.

My priority date is current and I need to file I-485 . I am getting an affidavit regarding birth date from my mother(Father is no more) who is in India.


1) Do I need to submit non availability certificate from my town of birth or will the affidavit from my mother be considered enough?


2) Do I need to submit affidavits from any older relatives other than my mother?

I have my school leaving certificate in addition to passport as proof of birth.

please advise.

Thanks

born prior to 1970 pd current pl help

I read the section on birth certificate. I was born prior to 1970 and my birth was not registered.

My lawyer says that since reporting of births was voluntary prior to 1970 ,only an affidavit from my mother would be sufficient. A no avalability certificate from the town of birth is not required.

I just need guidance that we are interpreting the provisions regarding birth certificates correctly.

My PD is current and need to file the papers asap

please help.
