birth certificate question?

[Kim and Nath 0]

I'm confused about part of the I-129F petition. I'm the USC, and I'm to include a copy of my birth certificate or the pages from my passport.

Does this mean I can photo-copy my birth certificate, or do I need to send an official one from my state of birth?

Or, could I photo-copy all the pages in my passport? I have several empty ones as the only place I've visited is the UK to see my fiance.

Thanks for all your help!

Either a copy of birth cert or complete copy of passport or copy US naturalization cert. This us to prove you are a US citizen.

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

Yes, I understand that, but is a PHOTO-COPY acceptable? Or some sort of certified copy. There's a difference between a photo-copy of your birth certificate vs. an official copy of your birth certificate.

Thanks

11. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

PHOTO-COPY this what we used for everything from K-1 petition to adjustment of status. Edited June 17, 2008 by YuAndDan
