Um correct me if I'm wrong, but my US h usband only needs to send in a photocopy of all his passport pages right? Not a copy of his birth certificate as well?

Just checking...

Am starting to second guess the package as I'm sure everyone does!

Thanks,

That should be fine, you are just proving his citizenship. I just sent my birth certificate and I was fine, but the passport also shows his visits.

If one is a naturalized citizen then they need to send copies of their passport but if you are a born citizen then either of your birth certificate or your passport will work.

I sent in color copies of my birth certificate, passport before married and also my new passport with my name changed. My reasoning for was because if you read the instruction under, "What Documents Do You Need to Show That You Are a U.S. Citizen?", you will see that only on #4 does it say, "or", which to me says that you need to submit everything that you have in 1-4 (or 5). But that's just my interpretation, I analyze every single word, punctuation marks and grammer style.

But if you read the general instructions you will see it doesn't say BC or PP it just list documents. The only "or" is PP or statement from US consular officer
