for Spouse I130

I don't think you need a Copy of beneficiary’s birth certificate and passport but i guess that wouldn't hurt.

Also you are submitting passport to provde citizenship and birth certificate..both are not required but wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks Jordandawg05. I realize there are a couple things included that are not necessary, but I since I have them, I might as well include them.

I realize there are a couple things included that are not necessary, but I since I have them, I might as well include them.

There is frontloading evidence, and there is including pieces of fluff. By including necessary items, you are doing nothing more than putting pieces of fluff in the file that do nothing to help your case.
