My American fiancee was born in Germany on an American Air Force base, and was flown over to America within the first six weeks. Because of this, she has three different kinds of birth certificate: one from Germany from a consular office which lists her mother's place of birth as America (includes the phrase "Report of birth abroad of citizen of the United States of America" and a presidential seal); one which includes all of her mother and father's information and was probably just what was needed to get the first certificate; and the third is a "Commonwealth of Virginia Certificate of Foreign Birth Department Of Health Division of Vital Records and Health Statistics" which was completed two years after her birth. All three include her birth date, but only the second mentions her birth hour.

Which of these would we need to copy to include in our I-129F package? Also are photocopies accepted or do we need to request an 'official' copy from an office?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Just beginning the long journey and I can see I'll be visiting this site a lot

Already I'm a little confused by the I-129F form... I am British from the UK and my fiancee is American and living in the US. How much of the form should be completed from her perspective, and how much (if any) from mine? Specifically I'm not sure what to put for Q20, applying for a visa abroad at the American consulate at ???. Also the question about our relationship, does it mean how I met her or how she met me? Small details I know but I don't want any delays that can be avoided, so I want to get the form right first time.

Many thanks for your help!
