Hi,

Just to double check, when I am preparing my I-129F, my fiancee does not need to send me her birth certificate notarized. A copy of it will suffice?

It is only needed when she goes for her interview at the US embassy in Guangzhou?

Thanks.

I think you should really send an email to the US Embassy in Guangzhou. Every embassy is a little different. Some will take copies. Some want copies of the front and back of the birth certificate. Some want certified copies.... Your better off going right to the people who are going to approve it so you may as well ask them. Just trying to save you some headaches. Ken

No she does not. The initial filing of the I-129F just needs your birth certificate proving your citizenship.

Yes, she only needs her own birth certificate for the interview. For the initial filing of the I-129F, only yours is needed to prove citizenship, and a regular photocopy will suffice.

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...

This is true, your fiance the beneficiary does not need to submit it with the I-129-F, however, if you have a translated copy, by all means submit it. There have been a few members who received an RFE for not including it even though it technically is not required . Best to cover your backside .

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
