Have dual ciitizenship/passports -how to declare meeting/travel

[Sol Mari 2]

Hi!! It is my first time on the forum, I've been following it for a week and today I became a member.

My boyfriend and I are preparing the first packet to send and I have a question.

I have dual citizenship, both argentinian and spanish, which is why when I came to visit I used my Spanish passport and entered with the Visa Waiver Program, but for other trips that we did together (Mexico and the Dominican Republic)that I am planning on using as 'proof that we met within 2 years' I used my argentinian passport. Does anyone now if there is a problem with having 2 passports or where I should state that so that it doesn't seem like I am not being clear about my citizenship?

Thank you so much!!! starting the process is both scary and very exciting!!!

Having so many people to help you through the process is just WONDERFUL!!!

If it were me I would explain you have dual citizenship, specifying your mother country may be a good idea, and send copies of both when it comes time to do so.

I'm sure someone else out here will have a better idea though.

So far as documenting your time spent together, pictures tend to work perfectly for that. You can also show identical dated passport stamps, flight itinerary, etc.

No issues, you will need to list both citizenships on the forms anyway.

There is no problem with this, just explain it and include copies of stamps from either passport that you use as evidence. The best place to state it is in a cover letter.

No you don't. I asked about this because I have dual and I was told by the embassy that they don't care about my UK passport, they only care about the one I'm using to immigrate off. I even took it to my interview and tried to show them and they seriously said "don't need to see it".

I entered the US on my UK passport. I was immigrating based off my Aussie passport. I sent copies of my UK passport with stamps to prove I visited and my Aussie passport was listed on the form.

At no stage did they ask, or care, about my UK passport. It wasn't relevant to them.

Your embassy must be different from Dublin then. They wanted to see both my Swiss and Irish passport, and even though I interviewed in Dublin and put my Irish citizenship as primary on everything, they listed my citizenship as Swiss on the visa.

I was born in Australia and have UK thanks to my dad. Where were you born? Maybe that's the difference.

I think if I'd applied in the UK then they'd have cared about my Aussie because it's my birth citizenship, but because I interview in Australia and was born there I think maybe that's why they didn't care. That would make sense.

Yes that could be it. I was born and spent my childhood in Switzerland, moved to Ireland age 16.
