Originally posted by Rahi_Teal View PostHi everyone, for original visa interview scheduled by NVC, my mom passed medical test however my dad was asked to undergo sputum testing. We didn't cancel their original visa interview and VAC appointments. My dad accompanied my mom to VAC appointment in Mumbai as planned earlier and both of them got biometric done at VAC, next day my mom appeared for visa interview and her visa was approved, they refused to take my dad's interview with her as expected and when my mom asked about having to do VAC again for my dad, one of the consulate officers told her that since my dad had VAC appt done already with my mom, he won't have to go through VAC/biometric again, he advised to attend just the visa interview appointment after negative sputum test results for my dad.
AFAIK we have to schedule VAC appt in order to be able to schedule consulate appointment after sputum test results come out negative. I remember reading at least one post here where even though VAC appt was done earlier, applicant didn't attend VAC appointment again which was scheduled after sputum test so visa interview appointment got cancelled automatically, we are a bit hesitant to follow what consulate officer told us and skip attending VAC appt again after sputum test because of this.
I'll appreciate if anyone in similar situation who skipped attending VAC appt again after sputum test can share their experience, how did it go? What I am seeing with class B medical appointment(option we have to choose after sputum test for taking VAC and interview appts I think) is there is a high chance that we may not be able to get VAC appointment just the day before interview and might have to stay in Mumbai for multiple days or travel again if VAC is not adjacent to interview appt.
Thank you!

Thanks
There are some Notary Public who have license as Certified Translator. You will find them in court complexes or if you inquire with some Share Brokers, they will show you who are Authorised Translators in your town. Go to one of them. They are authorised as Notary too. They may charge you some 300-400 ₹ including notarization charges (with red paper seal pasted and embozed). Yes let me tell you one thing- their translation text and the way of typing will be a bit sub standard. What you can do is - take the rough document home and retype on your computer. All you need is the legal terminology and pre-text and concluding text from that rough document. Make it fair and take it to the translator/Notary and get it done.Last edited by GeoMac; 03-15-2023, 07:37 PM.

There is no officially certified translator. I got my documents translated by a Professor of English who was competent in Hindi as well. With the translation you need a notorized affidavit from the translator. The language of this affidavit can be found on the USCIS website. it generally reads as follows:
I, [translator's name], hereby declare that I am fluent in [language 1] and [language 2], and that this translation is a true, accurate, and complete version of the original text to the best of my knowledge.
Translator Address, phone, e-mail
Translator official seal
best wishes

Since my mother was born in 1961, not sure if certificate of non-availability applies to her? I summited her school leaving certificate to NVC and got DQed.

Thank you so much. My mother was born before 1970.
Per India specific documents guideline,
Available: For persons born after April 1, 1970, birth certificates are available. For persons born prior to April 1, 1970, birth certificates are considered unavailable.
Alternate Documents: If an individual is born AFTER April 1, 1970 and is unable to obtain a birth certificate, the individual must obtain a certificate of non-availability from the local authorities with jurisdiction over their place of birth. In addition to a non-availability certificate, the following documents can be accepted as secondary evidence:- School-leaving Certificate (document provided to students when they cease attending a particular school, be it public or private),
- Matriculation Certificate,
- Certificate of Recognized Boards from the school last attended by the applicant (Boards are exams)
- A notarized affidavit executed by either a parent, if living, or another close relative older than the applicant. This affidavit should clearly state the relationship between the deponent and the applicant, how well the deponent knows the applicant, the date and place of the applicant's birth, the names of both parents, and any other related facts. If the applicant has no living relatives that witnessed their birth, a self-attested affidavit detailing their knowledge of the facts of their birth may be accepted.
