You posted in the K1 forum, but you are asking about the I130 (not used for a K1). What are you trying to apply for?

I'm sure the admin can worry about that. But my point is that step by step guide for i130 package is either incorrect or I'm not able to see it on USCIS i130 instructions. But I need to know if I have to submit beneficiary's passport and birth certificate.

What you submit depends what you are applying for, which is why I asked are you applying for. If you are submitting a petition for the IR1/CR1 visa (i130 form) then you do not need to include the birth certificate of the beneficiary.

Yes, a moderator can take care of that, but you're not going to get the answers you want if you post in the wrong forum. Don't worry, though, I'll report it to a moderator so they can move it to the CR/IR forum for you.

No and no.

Lets try not being snotty on this forum. You're here to seek answers, and those in the right forum can respond more appropriately.

To answer the question, you do not have to send p'port or birth cert. No harm in sending if readily available, but not a requirement.

You seem to have decided to go the I130 route. Good luck!

Yes, that was the best possible move for me at this point.

And hope that's the best possible move for you for the future and things work out.

You can see from the actual list on the guide it's crossed out. It was required at one point and the official VJ guide isnt the only one on the site, but does need to be updated. I believe ewok is aware.
