The fee is $420 not $480.

Thats why you are my godsend I had it highlighed in my document to double check.

Thanks!

Sorry, again, do you have the zipcode right? I think it's supposed to end in "4120".

[uscisb1 0]

quick question guys. Do we HAVE to submit copies of ALL the passport pages? Or is the biographical page enough?

[AtariBaby 17]

My understanding is all pages, front and back, including the cover. That's what we sent, at any rate.

[Robert&Karen 264]

All pages, because otherwise they will not know they truly are blank.

[Dewave2 17]

Why would they need to know what pages are blank for the petitioners passport? Isn't the copy of the passport to prove naturalization? If so, I'm not sure why all pages would be required.

[AtariBaby 17]

Well I'm not the USCIS, but I guess if you don't show them all pages of your passport, then there could be all sorts information conveniently left out. The petitioner can show a birth certificate instead, or at least that's what I did.
