please help - senior memebers!!!!
I am a PA but my spouse dependent do not have a birth certificate and we have taken certificate from consulate general of india dubai and also from church.
And also we can not attach a copy of SSC certificate since the DOB is mentioned in the certificate is different from the passport.
please senior members suggest if the certificate issued by CGI will be accepted by CIC? or the church certificate is sufficient?
suggest alternatives
Hi Sushma
Whatever you decide to do - you should go with a
sworn affidavit from your husband and
a document to back the affidavit. As per you - you cannot use SSC Cert for your husband and he does not have a BC.
If the Church document is the only thing you have - go with it.
ALSO - get a Certificate of Birth issued by CGI Dubai. Remember - they issue a '
Certificate Of Birth' and
NOT a Birth Certificate. There is a difference between the two and CIC is aware of that. This is because CGI will trust your passport details and issue a Certificate based on that. They will not go back calling your local municipal office asking them to vouch for your husband's date of birth.
CIC does not recognize PP as valid proof of birth (for whatever reasons).
The best possible case you can make is accumulate all the 3 documents-
- Document of Birth from Church
- Certificate of Birth from CGI Dubai
- Sworn Affidavit from BLS Dubai (on behalf of CGI Dubai).
The affidavit will cost you AED 80 and the Certificate of Birth will cost you AED 140 (I remember the charges vaguely, they may differ).
Good Luck!
