Question about passport photocopy

[Inky 1,111]

My guy photocopyed all pages including front EXCEPT for the back of it cus nothing was on it.. he just told me this now. is this going to cause an RFE or something of the sort.. the whole thing is there but just the back of it is missing, he figured they didnt need it as theres no writing on the back.

Hahaha the same thing I thought they put front and back and there is no such thing on documents submitted with fiance application. Don't worry!

Note: If a photo-copy of US Birth Cert or Naturalization Cert was included in the petition, then this may not be an issue.

Yeah, we need a bit more information to understand exactly what's going on. Whose passport was it? The US cit or the beneficiary?

The US cit has an option of submitting their birth certificate or a copy of ALL PAGES (including blanks!!) of their passport. If we're talking about a photocopy of the beneficiaries passport then you'll have no problems; if we're talking about the US cit passport and they also included a birth certificate, then you'll have no problems; if your talking about the us cit and they did not include a birth certificate, then you *might* have problems.

Most likely no, but you never know. Two petitions can be completly identical and one will get an RFE and the other not, so you can never know for sure. most likely you'll be fine. But if not, don't sweat it! You'll get the RFE and then send in the new material and it'll only put you back 2-4 weeks (which I know sounds like a long time, but you'll make it!)

While it's a best practice to include front and back cover in the complete passport copy, they only show it is a US passport. That's actually quite obvious on every page, so no worries.

yea it was his and he is petitioning for me, he copyed all other pages incl blank ones, just not the back back of the book, he did however include a copy of his birth cert, long form one with parents names etc on it.

as long as there is a birth certificate then your fine.. if they won't take the passport they will take the birthcertificate.

IF the passport is used as evidence of citizenship, they require they entire passport be photocopied. IF he also provided a copy of his birth certificate as evidence of citizenship, it is not required to copy all (or any) pages of the passport. Typically only the pages showing travel stamps to support the answer to question 18.

For those who will come along and read this later, let me just say again that it is important to read carefully and interpret literally. When using the passport stamps to as evidence of meeting in person, you copy the pages with the stamps AND the pages with any visas AND the photo page.

When using the US Passport as evidence of citizenship, the instrucitons are, "You must submit copies of all pages in the passport." "Pages in the passport" literally, do not include the front or back cover but it's a best practice, (not a requirement) to include copies of the front and back cover as well.
