Trying to get a copy of a Thai Birth Certificate.
Faz, Here is the bottom part of the English translation of my stepdaughter's birth certificate compared to my wife's. As you can see, the new birth certificate has blocks 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7. These are document reference numbers, not dates. My wife's birth certificate does not even have the same format. Her birth certificate has blocks 5, 6, 7 and 8. Block 5 is the registration date (date of notification). That is absolutely necessary for USCIS to accept the birth certificate as valid. Bottom line. The Thai government changed the format, and this is now a big problem for any Thai wanting to come to the USA for any category of visa, if they don't have their original birth certificate to translate into English. Any help is appreciated. -

Trying to get a copy of a Thai Birth Certificate.
Faz, I need an answer or suggestion on how we can resolve this obstacle to satisfy immigration. I respectfully disagree with you regarding American immigration and my stepdaughter's visa. You are just not correct regarding this specific issue. The bottom line is regardless of which block you are referring to or who enters it into the system, certified copies of Thai birth certificates today, not the original birth certificate given to the parent no longer have a registration date. My wife's father had her original. We cannot find her daughters original, therefore, we had to get a certified copy. Without the date the parent notified the Thai government of the birth on the birth certificate, American immigration will not accept the birth certificate as valid. If you have any idea how we can get a true copy of the original birth certificate, please share. Everything that complicates an immigrant application increases processing time or can result in a denial. Our immigration attorney has been very clear. Try and get a certified copy of the original, not this new version. It doesn't work and USCIS will reject it. And, we have had the new version translated both here in America by a licensed translator and in Bangkok into English. The English translations are identical as are the Thai copies. It is does not have the necessary date of notification. I can put both copies of my wife's birth certificate and stepdaughters on the table side by side and compare them. They are different. Both the Thai and English translation. They are is no mistaking the difference. My stepdaughter and my wife's sister have gone several times to try and get a true copy at the district office, and the Thai government official statement is simple and clear, "NO"! PS: My wife has posted this is on her Thai Facebook group and this is a problem other Thai, and their families are having here. This is not an isolated event. PPS: Faz, should I move this as a new topic to try and get more members to see this issue for me? -

I remember Russian tourists in Thailand not so positive. Drunken shouting asociale persons. Probably a special cleaning operation for hoping other toerist will forget of their barbaric behavior in Ukraine. -

News Forum - “Transfer to an inactive post’ – punishment or paradise?
You raise a good point regarding the Thais. Most stories we see and hear are about them extorting foreigners and tourists. This pales to insignificance compared to what they do to their own people and what they don’t do for their own people. It’s a national embarrassment on every level, but the Thai government don’t feel this shame.
