Hello all,

I've read that we're suppose to send Biographic Page of beneficiary passport with DS-230. This is not just one page, this means multiple pages, right? The reason I ask this is because when my husband got PCC, he also got a stamp on his passport so I assume I need to send copy of that as well.

In short, should I send all pages of passport that has some information or stamp on it?

It's just the one page with the photograph and biographic information. I'll try and find where I read that, but I did read it just yesterday... I think on the travel.state.gov site??

Biographic page is the page with the name, photo, birthdate etc. The PCC should be a separate piece of paper I would think. That's how it was in Thailand. Not sure how they do it in India.

Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

Hi daboyz,

Thanks for your response. In India, PCC is both a piece of paper and stamp on passport :)

hmm... then I guess I add another line to DS-230 cover letter saying "Photocopy of passport page with PCC stamp" to send the page with PCC copy. What do you guys suggest?

Champi,

There should be two pages, one with photo/beneficiary info and second page with address info. You dont need to send PCC stamp copy from passport office.

Good luck!
