USCIS Green Card: NABC Translation Needed (Kerala Birth, No Birth Certificate)
Question - My family comes from a small village in Kerala, and birth certificates weren't widespread when I was born in 1968. I was able to get an NABC, but USCIS requires the document to be translated into English for my green card application (I-485). Who can provide an official translation, and will USCIS accept an NABC even if I wasn't issued a birth certificate?
Answer - Yes, USCIS will generally accept a Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC) document along with a certified translation for your green card application (I-485). Here's what you need to know: * Translation by a certified translator: USCIS requires translations done by a certified translator. Look for translators certified by the American Translators Association (ATA) or similar professional organizations. * NABC as substitute for birth certificate: While an NABC isn't a birth certificate, it demonstrates you've made a good faith effort to obtain a birth record. USCIS will typically accept it alongside other supporting evidence. Additional supporting documents: * School leaving certificates or other documents mentioning your date of birth.
