K1 Visa - Fiancée Does Not Have Copy of Her Birth Certificate?
I live in the U.S. and my fiancée lives in India. We’re a lesbian couple and her family basically disowned her because she is a lesbian, thus she has very little to no contact with her parents and she recently found out that her brother burned her birth certificate and there are no other copies of it.
I am in the process of gathering all of the required documents to submit our K1 visa packet, but we are both now panicking because she does not have a copy of her birth certificate.
Upon researching whether or not she can just request a replacement birth certificate, we are becoming even more disheartened because she needs to submit copies of her parents photo IDs (again, they do not speak to her) in order to try to obtain a replacement copy in India.
Has anyone had any experience where their foreign fiancée did not have a copy of their birth certificate to provide for the K1 visa? If so, was providing their passport enough as evidence? Or what other documents would be accepted in lieu of an actual copy of her birth certificate?
Any tips or information would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
