Hello,

I've just started the K-1 Visa process and my question concerns this item of what needs to be sent in with the first packet with the I-129F:

11. Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

I've highlighted the part I am confused about. Does this mean my passport has to be valid for at least 5 more years in order for me to use it for this item? Or does this mean it has to have a total validity of at least 5 years? In my case, I got my current passport in 2000 and it is valid until 2010, so it has 3 year validity left, but a total of 10 years validity. So do I need to get a new passport in order to use it for this item or can I use this one?

Thanks for anyone's help on this...

If you have a US birth certificate the question is moot.

Our journey together on this earth has come to an end.

I will see you one day again, my love.
