The following is based on my personal experience. As you requested, I am sharing my experience, which may not be true for every individual.
Neither I nor my wife had the birth certificate. I had mine registered but could not find the original document. So I had my mom request a letter from the municipality (Nagarpalika). They gave me a typed document in the official letter head which is in English only and reads:
"This is to certify that xxxx, son of xxxx and xxxx, is a permanent resident of xxx, was born on mm/dd/yyyy A.D at xxxhospital according to his birth certificate #xxxxx"

That was it. No more documents were requested (regarding BC) and I have my GC now.

In my wife's case, she did not have her registration. Her dad went to the VDC and had them register then. They will use the actual "Janma Darta Praman Patra" template in Nepali, not just a letter as in my case. We used that in addition to its English translation and was accepted by USICS.

Hope this helps.
