Filing I-130 for my sister. Question regarding improper birth certificate.

[AmitGoyal]

Hi,

I am a US citizen trying to file I-130 for my sister. As per the proof of our relationship, I need to submit birth certificates of myself and my sister showing our parents name on it. Following are the issues with our birth certificate:
1) My birth certificate doesn't have my name on it!
2) My sister's birth certificate is not in English.

What can I do in this circumstance? My sister is in India and both of our birth certificates are from there.

Thanks a lot!

1. How did you receive US Citizenship without name on your birth certificate?
2. You can hire services where they translate documents from native language to English legally. Read here : https://www.immihelp.com/translation...s-immigration/ OR you can ask some friend or relative to do same and sign affidavit.

I don't remember giving my birth certificate for my US Citizenship. May be I showed Indian passport at the time which has family information on it (unlike US passport which doesn't have information about your parents)

Marriage Based Visa for my Spouse

Guys,

I recently got married in India and I am an USA citizen and she is Indian resident. I am going to start my marriage based visa/green card process of I-130 form before that I have few important question.

1. Does she needs to change her last name on passport as of now or can she wait u till she gets the temporary green card once her visa is approved?or possibly change her last name even after temporary visa.

2.under what last name of her I should fill out the application? Should I stick to her last name of her parents or should I fill her new last name which will be my? Currently marriage certificate says Payal Talati weds Jimit Shah(me). So what should I do? I know everything depends on the answer to above.

3. Does at any stages would I required to submit her passport copy? I don't see it anywhere as of now on the instruction page?

I know my question kinda is linked to each other but just want to clear mind before I start the application process. I tend to do it in my own instead of hiring anyone under legal services or agent.

Thank for the advice in advance.
