Hello,
My fiancee filed a petition for a K1 visa in the US and it has been approved. So I checked on the Mumbai consular website and found out that I am to await packet 3. I also noted the type of documents that I would be required to have ready prior to packet 4 and an interview. That is what my questions are about.
I don't have a birth certificate and was hoping to obtain a "no registration of birth" letter from the district of birth here in India. My question is:
1) Is it ok to obtain this document for persons born after 1970? Or does this document apply only to those persons who were born before 1970?
Secondly. should I acquire the aforesaid document, I am required to attach an affidavit from one of my parents, which is sworn in before a first class magistrate. So my questions are:
2) Does the affidavit have to made out specifically from a court/FC magistrate of the district where I was born? or can it be made from any district in India, say, where my parents may currently be residing?
3) Does getting this validation from a FC magistrate require any specific information documentation etc from my parents (what will the magistrate want to know from my parents)? and how easy/difficult is it to get the validation done (considering that a FC magistrate is a senior magistrate, does it involve waiting times of several days for appointment etc.?)
I would be grateful if someone could answer these questions please.
Regards
Abhishek
