Why Birth certificate or Non-availability of a birth certificate is required for your green card process?

If you don't have a Birth certificate or the Non-availability of birth certificate, then you may face issues with Green Card. Your dream of adjusting status to US permanent resident or green card holder may suffer. 

Before knowing the requirement of a Birth certificate or the Non-availability of a birth certificate let's understand why the green card is used for.

Having a Green Card officially known as a Permanent Resident Card allows you to live and work permanently in the United States.

US immigration agency, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) looks at the reciprocity schedule published by the department of state in India. The reciprocity schedule says the Birth certificate is mandatory in India starting from 1st April 1970. So anyone who is born after this date USCIS will expect either a Birth certificate or they will expect Non-availability of a birth certificate. 

Usually, Anyone can obtain a birth certificate from the municipality from where the person has been born or any office that is authorized to issue the certificate. 

But if you are unable to obtain a birth certificate due to some reasons then you must obtain what is called a certificate of non-availability which is also issued by the municipal authority of your birthplace or by the local authority with the jurisdiction over the person place of birth. The authority usually has its own format for the certificate of non-availability.
