Is Petitioner's Birth Certificate and Legal Capacity to Marry required??

[jhun&jeng 0]

Hi VJ'ers,

We are just wondering if Birth Certificate and Legal Capacity to Marry are required for interview for K1 Visa.

Because we are reading some post that includes both. My fiance was born in Philippines and became naturalized US citizen. He can request for birth certificate to NSO but it will take 2 months for them to deliver.

We would really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.

K-1ers don't need a Legal Capacity to Marry.

Also, there seems to be no need to wait for the NSO. According to the VJ Guides, the petitioner should send the beneficiary a copy of the I-129F packet. Included in that packet will be the following:

Copy of the Birth certificate (front and back) for the US Citizen or a copy of ALL pages of the US Citizen's passport issued with a validity of at least 5 years or a copy of the US Citizen's naturalization certificate (front and back). This is used to establish citizenship.

You don't need the NSO for the Petitioner since you need to establish that he's a USC and can petition you.

So glad, no need for all of that ;-)

As I can remember, my fiance submitted I-129F file along with the Naturalization Certificate.

Thanks for all your reply.
