Eventually the beneficiary will be asked to submit one for the interview.

Asked to submit BC, even if the passport is submitted as the main ID? Is that really so?

Welcome to dealing with the US Government :)

Is that a yes? :)

This sucks! I let my BC perish around the time I got my passport (some 16 yrs ago), since nothing suggested I would need two IDs at any point in my life!

IF you are the beneficiary (the non-US person hoping to get the Visa), then yes, you will need a copy of your birth certificate when you finally interview at the embassy. Aren't you the petitioner though? For the petitioner, the I-129F states that you can substitute copies of your passport for proof of citizenship in your application.

OK, well I have to say that is really lame. If they want it, they should ask for it. Anyway, this now reminds me of another inconsistency: in the I-129F form it says that you can send photocopies

I am (going to be) the beneficiary and for 16 years now I have used a national passport as the main ID like any other citizen of my country. WHY would I need to restore an outdated piece of paper that does not even have my photo on it? Weird.

I don't know, but there are a lot of bureaucratic things still required that are not very useful these days. In another thread I wrote about the g-325a, and found reference to a forum online where a lawyer stated in effect that it was pretty much useless these days and typically ignored. Go figure. :)

Hopefully it is not too much of a hassle for you to get a new copy from whatever local government office would have such a thing in your country.
