Birth Certificate Saudi Arabia ( Non Availibilty )
Hello,
I’m looking to find out what is the alternative if we don’t have Birth certificate to submit for NVC.
My wife she was born in Saudi Arabia and she only has Notification if Birth from the hospital and stamped by Ministry of Health in it and we have uploaded the same document. But NVC has rejected the document and they wanted to replace with acceptable birth certificate from issuing authority. My wife has moved back to India along with her family almost 7yers back and she can’t obtain certificate. So I’m looking to find out what needs to be done in this situation.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks

she can go to the Consulate of Saudi Arabia in the USA and ask for her birth certificate. I hope someone knows a little more.

To Whom it Concerns:
If you cannot submit a required document, you must send a detailed explanation through CEAC.
· Go to https://ceac.state.gov/iv.
· Under Civil Documents, choose the Not Available option for the missing document. A box will appear asking you to explain why the document is not available.
· Explain why you cannot provide the document for your case.
· Repeat these steps for each document marked Missing.
· After you provide an explanation for each document that is not available, click the Submit Documents button.
We will review the information and let you know if any other action is required.

Hello @sam khan , I am currently going through a similar situation, with me and my husband also being from Saudi Arabia. Could you please update me on your situation?
sam khanAug 28, 2023
@Alia Alali …. Have you submitted the docs yet?
sam khanAug 28, 2023
@Alia Alali …
you may have to make a affidavit explaining brief why you can’t get the birth certificate after that you have to submitted secondary documents like
school certificate from school, leaving certificate and any other related docs from KSA along with affidavit.
