original or copies?

[laureldevine 0]

for this entire K1 process, you do not use the original birth certificate, correct?

you just photo copy it?

on some posts i see people say copy front AND back..

is that necessary? as my US birth certificate has nothing on the back...

i made a photocopy of just the front and it was fine..

You can also use a copy of all pages of your passport.

would it help to just use both the passport and the birth cert? i know its unnecessary, but would rather have too much then too little

make sure to copy front/back cover + every single page on the passport.

also, in terms of the birth certificate, for the i-129f, they ask for birth certificate number?

Mine does not have one... perhaps because i was born at home, i might have a different birth cert?

is this ok?

The example I129f on here says only need the certificate number if you are using naturalization certificate. I think I put the city and state where it was issued, though.

You really only need one or the other, your birth certificate OR your passport. They are redundantly declaring the same thing - your citizenship. If you feel uncomfortable with your birth cert, feel free to use your passport in addition/instead, but I don't think you need to stress out about it too much.

if i remember correctly i think i did not send all the pages of my passport i went from three pages after my last immigration stamp to the last two pages, but i did send front and back of my birth certificate, im ok right?
