Impact of Place of Birth from which stage in the process?

[walnut]

Hi,

 

I was born in Qatar but I am an Indian Citizen. My employer is filing my visa in EB2 category.

 

Nothing is started yet. I want to know at what stage would my place of birth play important and the

 

process gets faster? Also I do not have my birth certificate issued from the government, I have it issued

 

by the church. Can I use it?

 

Please let me know.

Visa is a passport stamp. Your employer is filing an Immigration Petition for you. The place of birth is relevant at the time of filing the I-140.

I485 stage you will be considered as rest of the world and your GC processing would be quick. Or you could file both I140 and I485 concurrently.

I believe you need a birth certificate issued by government or an affidavit to that effect.

Wait for other members opinion.
