Proof of U.S. Citizenship for I-864 w/out birth certificate?

[chilegringa 0]

Hi everyone, I have just now found out that my joint sponsor for my I-864 package needs to prove US Citizenship.. I did not see this in any guide here on VJ (maybe it is there but I must have read over it multiple times) but is definitely on the NVC website..

Anyways, my problem is that my father who is my joint sponsor does not have his birth certificate, well he can't find it at the moment and will have to order it and put us back a few more weeks (as they are already sending me all their stuff from the US to Chile) nor does he have a passport..

Does anybody know any other way to prove US Citizenship or has turned in other proof that worked such as copy of social security card??

Thanks! Just wanted to check in case there is a more simple way around this than ordering his birth certificate and putting us back a few weeks.. if not, I guess we will just have to wait a bit..

you either need birth certificate or passport. SS card does not prove citizenship.

I only sent a copy of my joint sponsor's biographic info page of his US passport. All pages are not required or asked for. What's for dinner?

beats me- I remember reading that on docs for civil stuff on a parent visa.
