Passport stamps

[EllaC 190]

Hello!

We're putting together our paperwork for the petition, the intention is to send it tomorrow. But I still have some questions about the passport stamps and the proof of citizenship.

First, if we want to add passport stamps as proof of having met in person, how do we do that? Do we have to make copies of ALL pages in the passport? Or just the ones with stamps?

As proof of citizenship we want to use a copy of the naturalization certificate. If we want to use a copy of the passport, we use the same copy we used for passport stamps? And then again, ALL pages or just the info page and passport stamps pages?

Thanks in advance for all your time!

I am a bit confused what you are really asking for. If you are asking about proving US Citizenship and you want to use your US Passport, then you must submit a copy of every single page of the passport.

Now, if you are asking about submitting copies of passport stamps to show proof of meeting your fiance in the last 2 years, then you can just submit a copy of your bio page and a copy of the stamp in the passport.

Thank you for your quick reply, ttown3251!

And thank you for your reply, cedwards001, it's very complete and answers all my questions about this passport issue.

You dont need every page of the passport for either. For citizenship, get a notarized copy of the naturalization certificate (but they only request copies, not notarized copies- so either will work...). Then for proof of meeting in person, use passport stamps copies + flight iteneraries and/or boarding passes (the tickets you give to the airline when going on the plane).

By the way, notarized copies can be made for $3 at any UPS Store, usually http://www.theupsstore.com/Pages/index.aspx

If the instructions say to send all pages of the passport, interpret the instructions literally and follow them accurately. If there's not a clear instruction, submit all pages regardless.

I submitted a copy of my naturalization certificate and copies of ALL pages of my passport. This way, I can prove my citizenship in two ways AND I could also show the passport stamps (primary evidence of having met in person). In order to make it clear to the adjudicator I made small explanatory notes next to the passport stamps (1st visit, 2nd visit, etc.) Good luck!
