I just went to photocopy my wife's passport (she's the USC) for my AOS package and noticed that it expired in August! Will that be a problem? We've also got her long-form birth certificate so I'm hoping that will cover things.

I'm assuming that every USC sponsoring a spouse for a GC doesn't have a valid US passport, so I think we're okay. But of course I want to be sure.

Thanks!

I concur with the poster above. A photocopy of her long form birth certificate should suffice.

A long-form birth certificate is the official record of your birth filed with the county in which you were born. It's not the credit card sized document but rather a full-size piece of paper that states the details of your birth, both parents names, delivery doctor's name, etc. If you don't have it (many people have lost or destroyed it over the years, especially since it usually isn't laminated and is just a piece of paper) you can apply for a certified copy from your county of birth.

My husband does not have a passport, we also used a short form BC as far as I know (it was the small paper that you can tear out the cc sized piece from, but it was left intact...well, aside from one corner being puppy chewed :innocent: )

We didn't have any problems.
