ecwai Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 I was wondering when the original notarial certificate of birth (instead of a photocopy) is needed again once the VISA is approved, and if so, about how many are needed. I am in California and I have been checking online on different situation where it might be needed, but there seems to be none.What are some situations where it is needed again? Some situations I checked that I don't think the notarial certificate of birth is needed:Marriage Certificate, ID Card, SSN, Permanent Status, Driver's License, Passport. Thanks in advance.

dnoblett Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 There will be a few times once living in the states it may be needed. I believe a photo copy is needed to be attached to adjustment of status I-485. If an interview occurs, the officer may want to look at anything attached to the I-485 that were copies. Best to get two, one for the visa interview and another for future uses, Link to comment
Beachey Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 We just had to have a friend of my wife get more original copies of my wife's birth certificate. I agree in many cases a copy will work but some professional licensing especially when it involves children require an original certified copy. I think 3 or 4 extra copies is prudent. Link to comment
