question about passports

[birdandfish 0]

Do you the US citizen need a passport to file a I-129f, to start the visa process? (My fiance has came to the USA to see me, I haven't went to England to visit him. So I haven't had the need for one)

Welcome to the forum.

It depends. You should likely look over page 4 of the Form I-129F petition instructions and see how are able to prove that you are a US citizen. Some folks use their US passport as a way to show that they are a US citizen.

YMMV

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you so much, but wouldn't my birth certificate work for proof?

No. A passport is not required as long as you can prove you are a US citizen.

May I suggest that you begin the process of obtaining a passport as i am sure you will want to visit his home in the UK in the future or maybe do other international travel--Canada and Mexico now require passports. I have been to the postoffice where I see a mother with her kids filling out the expidite application becasue they are going on a trip in a few weeks and forgot to get their passports. Plus it is a handy form of ID that proves citizenship plus age--saved me an extra trip to the DMV when changing states and the lady was not going to accept the DL from the other state as proof of age.
