My finance came to the States to meet me in the summer and I am planning to file for the K-1 petition. Since we have met and I don't have a passport, is it a must to attach a photocopy of my passport for the G-325A? I am not sure whether my birth certificate is good enough to proof my US citizenship. Please advise. Thank you.

I have never seen anything that says you must have a valid passport to file the I-129f. You generally use your passport to prove that you have visited your fiance's country, and it can double as proof of citizenship. But since it is a requirement that you send your birth certificate, I image that the birth certificate carries far more weight as far as proving your citizenship then your passport does. Hopes this helps.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Birth certificate is enough, you do not need a passport.

Thank you for your reply! Good to know I don't have drive 5 hours to get a passport I might not need (lol)..Another question is how many photos do I need to submit for the petition. We took about 15 photos will that be enough?

Every adult should have a passport, get one when you can.

We sent ONE photo. Photos are secondary evidence.

Another question please help..

What kinds of forms and documents do I need to send to apply for my fiancee's kids?

I understand that each has to fill out the G-325A. Do they need to attach the Birth Certificate also in the K-1 petition?

What other documents do I need to ask them to provide?

Thanks in advance!

You submit nothing with the petition for your fiancee's kids. Make sure they are listed on the I-129F. You're not petitioning for her kids. You're petitioning for your fiancee. The kids will derive their eligibility for K2 visas from your fiancee's approved petition. When the approved petition arrives at the consulate then the kids can apply for K2 visas.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!
