Could be that a new version was released. Look at the bottom left hand corner of both forms. For me imm 5669 was filled out in dec 2016 and a new version was released in jan 2017

How is the PA able to see this in mycic without me (sponsor) having SA? Does this mean the file was transferred to a VO?

Hey guys..I need a some help! My package was returned and I am quite frustrated for obvious reasons. It was returned because I didn't send my wife's marriage certificate because it was all in hindi and doesn't have her name on it so I decided to send her 10th standard mark sheet which had her name and date of birth (and on their website, it was mentioned that mark sheets are available) and plus I had sent her election voting card, which had some hindi on it so they requested for certified translations for documents which weren't in english. Now my question is, is it necessary to send the voting card as one of the documents because I had already included a copy of her drivers license which comes under "copy of national identity card." And obviously now I have to get her marriage certificate translated and resend it. But since it doesn't have her name on it should I also send the mark sheet along with it?

If you want to send extra documents that may be Useful that's fine but I would just send all the documents they asked for Eg marriage certificate, whether you think it makes sense or not. Just make sure whatever documents you provide have been translated.

If you are from India, cic accepts 10th certificate if you dont have birth certificate (or if the name is missing on birth certificate), I do not know how is it for other countries.

And marksheet is not accepted I guess, send them 10th class certificate

There is no need to send the voter's card, as you said you already sent driver's license (I sent aadhaar card)

Let me know if you have more questions.

I am from Canada. And that's what I meant by Mark sheet, I sent the 10th class certificate but I guess that is not acceptable as they have highlighted the "marriage certificate section" on my checklist.

When I resend it, I guess I won't send the voter's card then but hopefully this doesn't raise another red flag.

Also, did you only send the aadhaar card or did you send it along with another national identity document?

9. Procedure: Establishing identity and relationship
Applicants may establish their identity and relationships with birth or baptismal records and marriage certificates.
If birth or marriage documents are unreliable, other types of official records may be acceptable. Examples of documents that may be accepted include:
 voter's registration lists,
 military records,
 baptismal certificates,
 old passports,
 income tax forms,
 school records,
 household registries,
 hospital records,
 identity cards,
 old immigration records.
 Notarised letters from reliable bank officers, religious leaders, police authorities or civic and other government officials.
Officers should be familiar with the types of documentation and prevalence of fraudulent documents in their area of responsibility.

Thanks for the info wintermao. My wife has a birth certificate, by it is entirely in hindi and it also doesn't have her name on it. So we are looking into either getting that certified translated or getting it remade in english with her name on it. What do you recommend? Any thoughts or suggestions by anyone else?

get a certified translation and have it notarized for the birth certificate.

Do you think not having her name on there will have a negative affect? Getting it remade is not suitable?

Yes, that's what I'm getting her to do. She went and got it remade in english and added her name. Hopefully this works now fingers crossed
