EDIT: Thank you to all who responded!!! I decided to send the petition using my current passport and go to the interview with both my new and old passports.

Hi everyone, I’m a Spanish citizen and my fiancé is an American citizen. We are currently living in the Netherlands and preparing our K-1 petition for me to move to the US. His residence permit in the Netherlands was issued under the ‘Verification against EU law for Union citizen family members’, granting him legal status as the unmarried partner of an EU citizen. As part of our evidence, we want to submit proof of our unmarried partnership under Dutch/EU law: IND approval letter for residence as an unmarried partner of an EU citizen His residence card showing on the back that he is the unmarried partner of an EU citizen Both documents are in Dutch. USCIS requires English translations with a translator certification, but I’m unsure whether this must be a professional/certified translator, or if a Dutch native-speaker friend can translate these documents. Has anyone submitted similar documents for a K-1 petition? Did USCIS accept a simple signed translation, or did they require a professional translation? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m getting ready to apply for a K-1 visa and want to make sure my passport situation won’t cause issues. My current passport expires on 1 December 2026. I plan to apply for the K-1 (I-129F) in October 2025. In my country, I can’t renew my passport until December 2025 (one year before expiration). Since the I-129F form asks for my passport number, I’d have to use my current passport when we file. By the time the case gets to the NVC/embassy stage, I should already have a new passport. My questions are: Is it okay to list my current passport on the I-129F, then switch to my new one later for the DS-160 and interview? Do I need to formally notify USCIS/NVC about the new passport, or just bring both old and new passports to the interview? Thanks in advance to anyone who’s been through something similar!
