Birth Certificate requirement
Hello, we filed an Adjustment of Status through marriage, my wife (who is the citizen), cannot find her birth certificate, she has everything else including her passport and naturalization documents. Will this be a problem if we attend the interview without it? Has anyone else been in a similar position who recently attended an interview?

it will definitely be a problem. just order a new one from the health department of the state she’s from if she’s a USC

can't someone in her home country get access to it .. for instant like if she write a letter of authorization for someone else but her to get a copy of her birth certificate.

She is in the process of requesting a replacement, but she is not born here in the United States, so its taking a while.
Here is my question of logic:
the birth certificate was issued outside the borders of the United States; however her passport and Naturalization documents are all issued in America, by American government. why would the birth certificate from another country take precedence over an American issued passport and naturalization card???

I also think like you recently, and then one lawyer in a forum told me it’s not the same thing. i forgot exactly what she said. still looking for link right now to post here

@mak Brown did you submitted any while filing? if yes no problem. I just got my 10 yrs GC I went to interview with it but they didn't asked for it

I only submitted mine, but she who is the citizen can't find hers. She think its left back in her home country.
