What should I send such a large petition in?

Just as a side-note, we had to send a certified copy of our marriage certificate. A regular photocopy, to my knowledge, could not be accepted. I was under the impression that the certificate had to have the seal on it...

I remember in the directions that it mentioned needing a copy of each and every page of the passport...but when I submitted our package, I only included my biographical page with other things like my license, SS card, etc. and it worked out fine. I wonder if they just used something else that I had sent as proof of my citizenship or if they are in fact occasionally overlooking the requirement of copying the ENTIRE passport....

You only need a photocopy of your marriage certificate for the I-130 petition. Certified or original copy is only needed at NVC stage.

You only need copy of each and every page of the passport when you have to prove your citizenship if you don't have a birth certificate. In my case, I wasn't born here so I had no birth certificate. I had my naturalization paper so I sent a copy of that to prove it.

He will need his passport (photo copy of all pages)to prove that he is a US citizen unless he has his birth certificate.

Of course, but read carefully and you'll see he has his birth certificate listed. So, no passport copy is needed.

Ah yes, I read it too fast. Sorry about that. You are right
