PLEASE HELP (URGENT): Birth certificate has nickname
Hi! Realized that my adjustment date (I485) is now current, and as part of the process, the first important document is birth certificate. I just saw my birth certificate and it has my nickname that was provided by family when i was born ~35 years ago. This name was NEVER used on any official documentation including the school certificates (10th/12th marksheets or school leaving certificates). Seems like I will get RFE on birth certificate because of this. So, want to do the right documentation upfront. What options do I have?
In my mind, after reading few different places, there are few options i sense:
1. Just get some affidavits to state 'one and same person' for the two names - easily doable, but i am not sure if this is ACCEPTED or not by uscis
2. Get a new birth certificate from the municipal corporation in my birth place - doable i think
3. Get a no birth certificate availability (for the new name) and couple of affidavits from parents/neighbors - doable i think
4. Get a name change certificate from judicial magistrate in india - painful process i think
Please share your experiences on what is the acceptable process?
