As most of us, my parents did not have their official birth certificate document. I obtained a validation type document from Ward Office (of Municipality). I am in the process of filing their GC. They don't have any other secondary suggested documents like Land Deeds, SLC Certificates etc. The only other option I see is an Signed Affidavit from their even older relatives.
But my parents are getting old and do not know how to get such document Notarized & Stamped. Anyone here knows, how I can reach out (from here in the US) to a Notary Public to get an Affidavit of Birth signed by my parents relatives?

BTW, this request is for outside Kathmandu Valley.

@chicagoan I would not think it take any longer than NVC. It will be faster than embassy process
@log…dick what’s your problem man. Stop being judgmental let people do whatever right for them. You Know Nepal would be coming out of dual citizenship in a near future and it does affect any Nepalese trying to immigrate here! Don’t F talk about nationalism nonsense. They would have jobs, careers, better life, better healthcare. Also can contribute in Nepal’s economic growth and other. No one forced relatives to stay here, they can go back when they feel like

@chicagoan I-130 is pretty straightforward. If you don’t have any issues in your immigration history and have all civil documents in order it should be approved. Can they legally stay here with approved I-130? Probably not. Mine took almost 1.5 year with a RFE to get approval. They are doing witch hunting so the process looks like in process and they are doing work. You would have to keep extending the visa. You know always consult an immigration lawyer and it’s like 500-800 bucks most time

Logbendck! Do you have any problems and issues mentally that you can not  resolve rationally. It seems like you are projecting to other people because you have not figure out how to neutralize basic human emotions such as anger, selfishness, ego and such.Does these behaviors give you happiness? I think you need to see a therapist cuz you are slowly turning in to sociopath!

Rockb, no point on feeding the troll. There are a few characters in Sajha who just hijack the whole conversation. Admin does ban them time and again but they come back with new names :-) Be the adult here and let it go

Rock b and Chicagoan : big FU

Thank you for all the good suggestions on secondary alternatives to Birth Certificate issue. Does anyone here know, if I can reach out to a Notary Public in Kathmandu from here in the US? My problem is that my parents are old and are not able to do anything. Their social contacts are limited and they live outside Kathmandu.
If there is someone whom I can reach out from here and provide their fees, I want to request an "Affidavit" Notarization document (which is one of the secondary alternative to Birth Cert).

@middle-age What’s the date of birth of your parents?

I thought we could file I-485 online but just found out it was to be paper. Am I mistaken?

@Rockb - My parents Date of Birth are circa 1949 and 1954.

@middle-aged,

Ba Aama lai angreji fitikkai aaundaina. Preparer ani interpreter ma mero afnai naam rakhda Hunchha? Preparer ani interpreter dui otai bharnu parchha?

For the immigration forms that I filled out myself (like N-400), I did not put anybody as far as I recall. But for all those cases where lawyers were helping us, they put their names in the preparer section but interpreter section was left out as all my family members were somehow able to handle their immigration interviews themselves. We never required any interpreters.

Ok thank you. Appreciate it

By the way I filled up the form online and downloaded. Now I have to change something but the text boxes turned to read only mode. Any suggestions?

You might have to go back online and do the whole thing (or maybe not, I doubt it though) all over again, if you want to make some changes. This is what I am thinking.

Thank you. Some further questions.

Both parents are principal applicants correct?
Evidences to provide:
Copy of receipt of I-797
Two photographs each (as specified)
Copy of passport page as ID
Birth certificate
I-94 record
Passport page with B2 visa
Marriage certificate (may not be needed if both parents are principal applicants)
I-864
Evidence of financial support(affidavit)
1140 bucks. Cashier check or regular personal check is fine?
I-693 at a later time

Chicagoan,

Thank you
