Passport situation

[RedAndBelle2019 1]

Hello everyone. 

I hope everyone is having a good day and that all of your visa processes are going without any trouble.

I am at the point right now, before scheduling my interview appointment. All previous steps have gone well so far. I have to schedule a medical appointment and gather a couple of documents before scheduling an interview at the consulate in my country. 

the question i want to ask is; in the list of documents i need, it says i must bring with me a certified copy of my fiances u.s. passport (bio page only). the situation is that my fiance doesnt have a passport, and i was wondering if there is any other document she can use instead? 

 

i thank you all who answer and hope everyone is well. 

 

(I appologize for my english if its inccorect)

My husband sent me his original birth certificate (pretty sure a copy would also have been fine). Is your fiance a born US citizen?

How did you Fiancée visit you without a US Passport? After all that is a requirement for a K-1 visa. I am assuming you are the beneficiary and the "fiancé" is the petitioner. Is this the right assumption?

Is it a requirement that the visit has to be done by the US citizen to the country of the beneficiary specifically? I thought it was required to have met at least once (anywhere really..) Learning every day I guess! 😀

I'm assuming the beneficiary visited the US citizen in the US?

You can visit anywhere in the world but I wasn't able to ascertain that from their post hence the question "How did you...". So, the question is did they meet in the US or in another country. I'm not assuming anything, I am just asking how they met to satisfy the K-1 meeting requirement within 2 years of filing the I-129f. If it was in the US then yes petitioner didn't need a passport. I can only opine to what I read in their post and that stood out to me.

Maybe the beneficiary visited the USA.   A USC is  NOT required to have a passport

Oh boy, haha. I should have explained it a bit better. Okay. I am the beneficiary. Living in Slovenia. I visited my fiancé, petitioner, in the USA two years ago. 

My fiancé never went anywhere outside her own state, so she never had a passport. I hope I'm explaining it right so far. We applyed for a K1 visa this year, and so far the everything went good. I received an email from.the USA consulate in Slovenia, to prepare the rest of the documents, before scheduling the interview. In the email from the USA consulate I got a list of documents I must bring with me to the interview. One of those things is a certified copy of my fiancé (petitioners) passport. The issues is that my fiancé doesn't have a passport,so can't make a copy of it. Maybe I could use a different document, like her ID card? It has the same information on it, right? Anyway, I apologize for the confusion. Have a good day everyone

Your post read absolutely fine to me! 👍🏻 

 

Yes, you can also use a copy of her ID card I guess. As mentioned, for my consulate the BC was also good.

 

Good luck on your interview!

You said you visited two years ago. You need to meet within the last two years so if the two years are already passed very soon you need to visit again or your K1 gets declined. Please be aware of that. 

[carmel34 3,529]

Direct quote from NVC website, documents required for the interview:

 

Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of both sides of the Lawful Permanent Resident card I-551, Certificate of Naturalization, or U.S. passport).

 

Your US fiancee may have to get a US passport to satisfy this requirement, send an email to the US embassy/consulate where the interview will be held to make sure that a birth certificate is acceptable, since it is not listed.  A US passport can be applied for and received in 48 hours using a fast passport service.  Good luck with your interview!

Nope just have to have met within 2 years of filing the I-129F 

 

 

OP Her BC should be fine to use.

A BC should be even better than an ID card. But if she's sending a copy of one, it won't hurt for her to send a copy of both - even if it's only for your own peace of mind.  Heaven knows there's enough stress that goes with an interview. Anything that helps you worry less is a good thing. Even if it's surplus to requirement

At a cost of more than the whole I129F petition filing fees. Just use standard processing, and without proof of immediate international travel, you will not be able to get the 48 hour service anyway, as they require proof of pending travel. And it is only usually available for a renewal of a current passport. You have to have the oath done by an authorized agency for the first passport. The fastest I have seen a first passport issued is 7-10 days.
