You only need a copy of your birth certificate or a copy of your passport, not both.

Thank you very much, :thumbs:

Hi,

I am beginning to apply for my wife but had a quick question on the I-130. Did you choose a consulate for the interview in the I-130? Or since you live in Spain, you automatically go to the embassy in spain? I am asking because it looks like your spouse is Iranian (as is my spouse)
