Birth Certificate question - urgent

[ssk0821]

Hello all,

I have my marriage based green card interview on Wednesday, and I have an urgent question.

My original birth certificate is in India with my parents. I didn't know until today that I needed the original copy----my mistake. I only have photocopies of the birth certificate and passport.

I took a shot and went to my City of Birth's Government/Municipality website, and surprisingly was able to find a copy of my birth certificate by using their search option. It comes with a stamp and also a signature (both computer generated). Has all the information (name, parents' name, etc.) At the bottom it has a note saying:

Note : This certificate is computer generated and does not require any Seal/Signature in original. The authenticity of this certificate can be verified at www.xxxxxxxxx.gov.in. The Registration Number is unique to each birth.

Will a hard copy of this birth certificate and a copy of the website's link do? OR do I need anything additional like an affidavit or something? Since the interview is on wednesday, it's almost impossible to get my Original mailed to the US. Plz let me know. Appreciate any help I could get now.

Thanks much.

I am not an expert, but I think this should work. Many of the certificates these days bear this language and they work all the time.

I suggest dont use that. Take a photocopy of your India issued BC. The worst which can happen is that you get a RFE and might need to produce it again.

I am not expert, producing something else, other than what you have submitted already might cause more issue I would imagine.

Thanks both of you for the response. The idea worked. the officer had no problems with that copy from the govt. website.
