Birth certificate of original applicant

[crs 0]

Hi everyone!

I have my interview at Naples consulate planned for January 27. I am reading over all the instructions and I am now facing a doubt:

in the original I129F application we used my fiance's copy of all pages of his passport in place of his birth certificate. Now that I have to go to the Consulate, can I bring the same copy of all pages of passport or should we apply for a birth certificate? Thank you!

The birth certificate/Passport - for the US Citizen - is used to establish (mainly) citizenship - which, if you have been approved (NOA2) has been done. For the interview, it is a good idea to have a copy of all items submitted with the original I-129f petition (which would also include the passport copies you mentioned). It is not likely the Embassy/Consulate will now ask for a BC of the US Citizen since the USC's petition has been approved and now it is the beneficiary's visa that is being applied for. (In our case, we didn't have my - the USC's - BC for the interview and all worked out fine.)

The USC's birth certificate is not required if they used the full passport copy to prove citizenship.
