I am the US citizen, born in the USA and have a US passport.

When filling your I-130, the Visa Journey guide says you must copy all of the pages of your passport...

Is this true?

by the way.... I know my wife has to have all her pages of the passport coppied.

I just want to make sure because I will be sending in the application very soon.

I did first 5 pages of the passport and they had no problem with it.

It is good to send copy of all the pages of your passport (the stamp pages help as evidence of continuing relationship, if you travelled to your spouse country) or copy of Naturalization Certificate (If Naturalized) or Birth Certificate (if born in USA) with I-130.

Your wife's passport pages are not required with I-130. And the bio-graphic pages are sufficient later with her Visa application (DS-230), after your I-130 is approved and forwarded to National Visa Center for further processing.

You are right, if there s any stamp, if not then it does not need to be copied all the way. And I am pretty sure it is illegal to make a copy of the naturalization certificate.

Yes, the bio-graphic pages of the passport will do (sending random pages is not good, so it is better to send all pages, if one wants to include stamp pages as proof of continuing relationship). Sending a copy of Naturalization to USCIS with I-130 is not illegal and in fact is one of the requirements to proove ones US citizenship.

The copy of the long form of the birth certificate(both sides) is all I need to show I am a US Citizen so I don't even require the passport to show I am a US citizen.

But I will make a copy of the entire passport to show a continuing relationship. Our wedding was in Romania plus I went back to visit her... so I have two stamps on my passport to show we have a continuing relationship.

I just don't want to piss off anybody by making the application to long with pages that are of no use to them, etc..
