Hello!

I've got the Notice for Interview. My wife is US citizen but she was born in Europe and was naturalized in US.

In the list of docs that we must have for the interview listed birth certificate of US citizen. She doesn't have it...or we can't find it. It was lost somewhere.

What shall we do?

She can show her US passport but not birth certificate that was issued in other country.

Thank you!

No, your wife doesn't have a birth certificate of a US citizen, 'cause she wasn't born in the US, so you didn't lose it.

What USCIS wants at the interview is that the petitioning spouse, your wife, can document that she is a US citizen. There are 3 main documents that allow that:

1) US Birth Certificate

2) Certificate of Naturalization

3) US Passport

Any of these will do the trick.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
