hi, i received a letter from the embassy requiring me to submit an "Original NSO Advisory on Marriages" and an "NBI Certificate" both having August 15, 1961 as my date of birth.
ok here's the problem, August 15, 1961 was my date of birth as shown in my BIRTH CERTIFICATE. but that's not my actual birth date, it was an error in registration. and so, i didnt use August 15, 1961 as my date of birth in any other documents. and that includes the documents i mentioned above, where instead, i used December 25, 1961 as my date of birth which is the real one.
knowing that this will bring conflict to my documents, i had my birth certificate corrected at the local civil registry in the province i was born. after it was successfully corrected, i sent all the documents asked by the embassy to be submitted.
but because i corrected my birth certificate only recently, the embassy wants me to provide a copy of the above documents using August 15, 1961 as my date of birth. since those documents were already issued years before i corrected my birth certificate, they are probably thinking that im holding old copies of those documents.
im having a hard time dealing with it, because in fact, those documents with August 15, 1961 as my date of birth never really existed. as i said earlier, i never used it anywhere else.
the letter from the embassy says "only original documents or, when unavailable, certified documents are acceptable"
- first, i do not have the original documents that could satisfy their demand (above said documents).
- i cant produce certified documents. as far as i know, a certified document is a copy of an original document where it is certified by other people (someone who knows me personally, or could be a notary public) to be a true copy of the original document. i cannot produce it simply because the original document is not existing..
any idea, comments, suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks..
