anand_usa Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 My wife was born in Nepal and has Nepali birth certificate. She was citizen of Nepal before marriage. She was born and brought up over there. After marriage while in India for 2 years, I applied for her Indian passport and gave her birthplace Bihar India unknowingly thinking that she was born at her Nani (mother's mother) place. We are in USA from last 8 years and multiple times I have to fill different forms where I mentioned my wife's birth place India because it is mentioned in her Indian passport. I applied for employment based GC and have I-140 approved. Can I legally use now my wife's birth place Nepal as cross country changeability in GC process to move ahead. What are the issue may come in it? I have her original Nepali birth certificate both in Nepali and English languages. Please guide. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 First stay away from a forum. Seek initial guidance from the firm of Murthy or any of your choice. Your lawyer will have to do some fancy explaining on your behalf. The money involved will be immaterial if you bypass the very long Immigration Wait. Link to comment
xTDx Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ohh geez. Looks like a heap of trouble. Well to correct this, the path may be very difficult , however the idea is very simple. Birth certificate is the first and primary document. Passport and any other documents will need to be corrected as per the birth certificate(Assuming it is correct). All new applications will need to have correct place of birth. Consulting a competent attorney would be a great idea right now to sort this mess out. Link to comment
anand_usa Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Thanks both of you for your suggestions. I'll anyway consult to the attorney but just checking if anyone has gone through this scenario and successfully filed GC process and got it. Link to comment
