I am not quiet sure if the AOS works the same way, but i know that in my case and in the k1

cases we had to provide the petitioner's birth certificate. i would think that you would have to

provide proof of his citizenship i think it's a strong possibility that they will need to see his

birth certificate. i am not sure if they will allow a copy of his US passport as substitute.

good luck

Hi!

Does he have a US issued passport? Or, first, do you need to send an I-130? If yes, page 2 on the instructions for the form tells you exactly what documents you need to prove US citizenship. Or if you do AOS from K-1, how did you prove his citizenship for the K1 process?

My husband is also an american citizen born abroad..his mom send us his birth certificate (from israel) to make a copy and send it with the I-130 so,I think you need your husband's birth certificate

He has a US issued passport, plus we used his naturalization certificate to prove his citizenship, looks like we are fine for now, but not sure if well need it in a long run..
