Hello,

We are compiling all the information and getting ready to send off the application. I have a question (one of many to come I'm sure) relating to the proof of citizenship.

My fiance was born in the Phillipines and moved over to the US when he was 6. He hasn't got his naturalization certificate and replacing it costs $345 according to the USCIS website! I was wondering if the photocopy of all the pages in his US passport would suffice? Or would it be sent back with an RFE for the certificate?

Thanks in advance!

Since you have the passport use that. It proves that he is a USC as only USC can have a US passport. The only way a non-USC can get a passport is if the DOS screwed up and I find that highly unlikely. I would use what you have and not spend the time and money getting his naturalization certificate.

Good luck,

Dave

Ahh thankyou! I just found a part in the instrustions for the form that you can download from the website that says a passport in place of a certificate is acceptable. Think I just had my first mini-freak out, oh dear.

But thank you for your quick reply :)
