In the instruction I-130 p.2 What documents do you need to show that you are a u.s. citizen

Is a birth certificate and a photocopy of passport enough? My wife is born in USA and lived there since.

Thanks.

If you are married and filing an I-130 you are not applying for a K-1. This is the wrong forum for that.

And please read the instructions for each form carefully. 99% of answers can be found there.

But yes, either one of those will do.

From: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-130instr.pdf

What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?

1. If you were born in the United States, a copy of your birth certificate, issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office, or other civil authority.

2. A copy of your naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship issued by USCIS or the former INS.

3. A copy of Form FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States, issued by a U.S. Embassy or consulate.

4. A copy of your unexpired U.S. passport; or

5. An original statement from a U.S. consular officer verifying that you are a U.S. citizen with a valid passport.

6. If you do not have any of the above documents and you were born in the United States, see instructions under Page 3, "What If a Document Is Not Available?"
