Does the us citizen need a pasport.

[ayla_42 39]

My fiancé who lives in th us does not have a pasport.

We where gonna get one because he was coming to visit me before I got approved.

But we decided not to do that.

Does he still need a passport or can we do that once I'm in the us?

Like maybe I hve to bring a copy of his pasport to the appointment at the embassy?

Your passport will be enough as long as you have entered the US and Met him within the last 2 years of the date of filing the I-129F. You need to prove that you met and one of you must have a passport to prove that. My fiance didn't have his passport when we applied, only I did (USC) as I went to his country to visit (It was more cost efficient).

Sounds like you did all the traveling when you met in person. And it sounds like his state gives a decent enough birth certificate to prove he's a citizen. He doesn't really need a passport then, but a USA passport is the easiest way to prove USA citizenship in the future. I'd have him get it, just because it can make life easier, and I'd assume at some point he's going to want to travel with your to your country.

It is not required to have a US passport. All the passport does is prove USC, allow one to leave and return to the US, is a List A document on the I-9 form, and is considered valid proof of identify, age and citizenship. It is not that hard to get one. It always amazes me when standing in line at the post office and the number of people that need to expedite a passport application because they are going on a cruise or other international travel and booked the travel before realizing they need a passport. IMHO, now that he is planning to marry a person from another country, he should go apply for his passport NOW so he can visit your family in Netherlands. The cost is only $110 for the passport book and takes 4-6 weeks. I have had a passport since I was 17 and it saved a long 1.5 hour wait at the DMV because I had it, but that is another story.

Good luck,

Dave

Thank you all.

We are deff getting a passport for him. But we want to do it when I'm already there instead of now. Since we don't really need it right now.

He does have his birth certificate off course.

Thank you again ?
