Does a naturalized US citizen petitioning for wife needs to attach their foreign birth certificate ? Already attaching the naturalization certificate. Does the US passport copies also needed if already attaching the certificate. ?

Thanks

I remember I sent a copy of my US passport and the US Naturalization Certificate because I wasn't sure if I needed the passport or not.

And as for the foreign birth certificate see the I-130 instructions, I copied some of it below (Read the original instructions though).

What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?

1. If you were born in the United States, a copy of your birth certificate, issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office, or other civil authority.

2. A copy of your naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship issued by USCIS or the former INS.

3. A copy of Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States, issued by a U.S. Embassy or consulate.

5. A copy of your unexpired U.S. passport; or

5. An original statement from a U.S. consular officer verifying that you are a U.S. citizen with a valid passport.

6. If you do not have any of the above documents and you were born in the United States, see instructions under Page 3, "What If a Document Is Not Available?"

We included a copy of both my husband's US passport and his naturalization certificate. Good luck.
