Hi,

 

I'm the USC and my spouse is LPR and has his interview next Monday (applying based on 3 years rule). In the interview letter it asks to bring originals of all supporting documents such as marriage and MY birth certificate. I realize that I only have a copy of my birth certificate, not the original. I was going to order one from VitalCheck but it's $70 and may not arrive on time. Anyone know if it's worth it? I sent in a copy with my husband's original I-751 and N-400 packet, and he brought a copy to his I-130 interview years ago and no one ever said anything. I don't see why this would be an issue. Anyone have any insight?

Think I'll have to make the trip to downtown Boston to city hall and just get a print out. Thanks for the advice!

Could you bring along your US passport - in addition to the copy of B/C .... the US Passport is a different way to show citizenship and it will show place of birth....

  • sending I130 05/16/2007
  • cheque is cashed on 06/11/2007
  • NOA1 in mail 06/13/2007 (who said 13 is badluck )
  • 07/30/2007 After no touches and no other signs we just got an email with the APPROVAL of I130....Thank God !....now what ?

  • 08/07/2007 Case received by NVC and case number assigned :))

  • 08/13/2007 DS3032 and AOS bill were generated

  • 08/14/2007 Emailed choice of agent ...i'm so curious when they will accept it...hopefully soon

  • 08/21/2007 DS3032 and AOS fee bill arive in mail

  • 08/27/2007 paid AOS fee bill
  • 8/28/2007 DS3032 choice of agent accepted

I won't actually be at the interview, but yes I could send my passport with my husband for them to verify. Don't see why a birth certificate would be anymore legitimate than an actual passport

Not sure either - for employment purposes, passport works just as well....

I don't think it's a legitimacy issue. Passport may not be always sufficient to prove spouse has been a US citizen for at least 3 years; which is a requirement for 3 year applications.
