Hi All,

Im currently collecting all requirements that I might be needing for the I130 and the future.

I have an issue. Here is my situation: I was born to parents who were deployed in subic bay, PHilippines. They were stationed there back there was a US navy base. I am looking to file my I130. If I am correct, I do not need to submit my birth certificate, as my US passport will suffice? Is that correct?

How about other forms? will there ever be a step in the whole petition process that will require me ( the petitioner ) to submit a copy of my birth certificate? The only copy i do have, is a certified copy given by the National Statistics Office in the Philippines. Will that work?

Yes a copy of the biographic page of your US passport can be used to proved US citizenship.

What i did was make a clean color copy of the bio page, brought my passport & the copy to my bank and had it notarized before sending it along with the I-130 form and other evidentiary documents. Best of luck to you!

I sent in mine without being notarized and got approved just fine. If you wanted to take extra precaution you could notarize it, though. It definitely couldn't hurt! :P
