Send my passport?

[Kainen 0]

Do I need to send my passport for my fiance interview? I was born in Canada, but am a US citizen. I don't have any other way to prove my citizenship. No certificate, just my passport. Will copies do for the interview or do I need to mail my passport too? Thanks for any information!

Never send the passport as far as I know...just need a copy of the bio page...although it wouldnt hurt to copy the whole thing. So, what did you use to prove your US citizenship during the petition? You would have to have some sort of naturization papers I would think..or was one of your parents a citizen? ..but you have the US passport and that will be your best bet.

Honestly, you shouldnt need that for the interview.....was it requested in a list from the embassy?

I used copies of every page in my passport for the I-129F. I get citizenship from my mother. It took alot of documents and a RFE to get the passport in the first place because I don't have a certificate of citizenship.

The reason I am asking is because the guides say to send the originals of everything in your packet. I'd really rather not send my passport since it is my only citizenship document here.

Thanks for replying

No, do not send your original passport. This is not needed, Plus you may never get it back. I made copies of all the pages in my passport and the Biographic page. This is all you need when sending in the packet. I work abroad and need my passport in my travels, If I would have had to sent it to them I could not have traveled outside the states for work. Don't make the mistake of ever giving up your passport to anyone.

Your passport is not needed for the interview...your case was approved through the USCIS. In this case the ORIGINAL is not needed. They are talking birth certificates and such.

Your passport is not needed for the interview, however, to relax your mind you can always send a scanned copy to your fiancee.

My husband was born in England and he sent me his CRBA for the interview. It wasn't asked during the interview but it's safe having it just in case they ask. Good Luck on the interview!!!
