How to copy Passport for submission

[jbmail 0]

The instructions say in the I-129f to copy ALL pages of passport? Does this mean the BLANK numbered pages also, or just ones with stamps on them. I would assume ONES with stamps, yes?, but you never know with gov't involved? Also, I was to understand that you cannot copy Birth Certificate or Passport in COLOR anymore at commercial copy centers, does this matter? Thanks

I copied all pages in B/W, including cover.

If using passport to prove US citizenship, the all pages including cover.

I used photo copy of US birth cert for citizenship, and passport bio page+stamped pages for proof of travel and meeting.

As for copies, B+W is fine.

It does not matter if it is color, black & white, xerox, canon, minolta or toshiba copies as they are all acceptable.

For proof of meeting, I used:

• photos from betrothal ceremony, especially a general-group picture which had sign "Betrothal:...."
• copy of a rail-ticket from Nellore to Chennai
• copy of currency exchange ($-Rs) receipt

(due to the fact of my using a now-expired non-US passport to enter India, I couldn't use that in the petition)

if you don't want trouble in doing it over and over again...photocopy (and clear copies) ALL, from the first to the back page, ALL meaning even the blank ones, because they want to see if the blank ones are really blank and not missing (which would make them suspect) ALL is ALL and remember CLEAR. now for the birth certificates, you can photocopy them anywhere as long as the copies are clear. make sure you bring all originals on your interview. good luck!

I just copied the info pages and the pages with stamps. I didn't see much point in copying blank pages. I didn't have any problems.

I copies every page from front to back in b/w

this could be used of evidence of meeting or proof of citizen ship.

i also copies my birth cert front and back (even though there was nothing on the back)

True if you used US passport to enter the country where fiancé(e) resides (I didn't--but I did use it to reenter US).

Always read carefully and interpret literally.

Yes, copy "all" pages except front and back outside cover, even the blank numbered pages. They don't know if they are blank or show the passport stamp for all those trips to terrorist training camps you're hiding by not copying all the pages.

or you have copied the ID page of your passport and inserted copies of some passport pages of somebody else's
