I will be applying via mail through the San Francisco consulate. They told me I should expect it to take anywhere from 1-3 months.

Scratch the first post. The Italian Consulate said I cannot use the RBA. ONLY the original birth certificate (it's crazy because my RBA has more info on it than my Israeli birth certificate!).

So, here is my question: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET MY ISRAELI BIRTH CERTIFICATE TRANSLATED FROM HEBREW ...

Thanks for the reply!

Your first suggestion seems to be the most probable method. I am currently working on contacting someone in the Consular department at my local Israeli consulate to get more info.

The second link you provided is for Israeli citizens, as they require an Israeli ID. I have just ...

I am wondering...has anyone had experience ordering (and receiving) a certified copy of their (or others) Israeli birth certificate?

If so, how did you go about it? I am pulling my hair out on this one!

Thanks!

I don't think there is any difference, just that NARA might not have it. I am going to speak to them again and have them look this particular A-file up (I have the #).

Otherwise, it looks like I am just going to get the "Letters of no record"

I spoke with someone from NARA and they said they don't have any AR-2 files...???

So, I've still no luck on this one...USCIS FINALLY returned my call (should I faint??!!) and they said their office does not certify documents. Lame.

Has anyone any other idea(s) on how to get a certified copy of an Alien Registration form????

Thanks!

I was born in Israel, as an American citizen, so I have a "Report of Birth Abroad"

Is this sufficient, or do I need to get the actual Israeli birth certificate translated from Hebrew into Italian?

Note: I am not an Israeli citizen.

If the "Report of Birth Abroad" is sufficient, where would I get ...

Great, thanks so much!

Thank you!!!

Thanks for this, but it doesn't quite answer my question...unless I'm missing something. I know how to obtain a copy of the AR-2 form (I have done it already), but I am trying to find out how to get a CERTIFIED COPY (Red ribbon/golden seal)...

Anyone know if it is possible to get a CERTIFIED COPY of an AR-2 form (Alien Registration) from USCIS? I ordered a document like this and received a copy, but I have been asked to provide a certified copy by the consulate to clear my ancestor's residency status discrepancy.

Thanks!

I am wondering if anyone knows how to get a CERTIFIED COPY of a ship manifest from 1913?

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Does anyone know if a child of USA citizen parents is currently born in Italy, can that child become a citizen of Italy--and then its parents?
