k1 K1: Part Two- Page 7, Question 38.E (beneficiary passport needed to start)

[Darlyn25 2]

This is a simple question, yet I am just wondering.

 

Does my beneficiary need a passport at the start of the K-1 Visa process or is it only needed for step two- DS-160?

I am wondering if it would affect us if she does not already have a passport at the start. 

Our plans is to file first and wait for the office to open up (after Covid-19) lockdown and do the process for the Passport before the Package gets to her. 

 

please let me know your guy's thoughts.

After reviewing the site...

 

It is not needed to file, only concern is to make sure she has it before ht Medical exam and DS-160 process.

Reading the descriptive phrase for what they are looking for in the I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) you'll see it states "If your beneficiary is currently in the United States, complete Item Numbers 38.a. - 38.h". So, if she is currently in the US fill in the passport number, if not move on to the next question. There are two tools that can be beneficial in the process of completing the I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) one is the form itself and the other are the directions. I'll post the links so you will be prepared for a dauting endeavor. Good luck and stay engaged.

We put N/A, because she never have been. We were wondering if it would be looked down upon if she didn't have a passport at the start of the visa. 

 

yet, after doing a lot of searches, totally does not matter.

That's right, it does not matter as that is an option of the instructions. N/A is fine or leave blank as either will work. I'm glad I was some help.
