Why does it say on the 1-130 direction of proof of status I need and "original statement from a US consular officer verifying that I am a US citizen and my passport is valid? Is this because whom ever is reading at Lockbox has a verification of myself and passport. So if I submit without this, they won't hold up my paperwork. Thank you so much for your help.

I see in the instructions where you see that. But each one of those 6 items is an or. You need to show once piece of identification so use passport or birth certificate. Nothing else is needed. Millions of us can't be wrong you need not chase down and consular officer for anything.

I have only begun my 1-130 for my spouse. I am a born US citizen w/birth certificate and US passport.

My question, if anyone can help, it say I need to provide an original statement from an US consular officer verifying that I am a US citizen and my passport is Valid. How crazy. If I send in a copy of my passport, with all my other documentation, is this a necessary step, or will they put it on hold until I send this in with it. I only ask, because the consulate is a long ways away and you can only see them by prebooked apt over the internet, they only have appt. on Tues and Thurs and appt. not available til Feb. I need to send this package in soon to get the process going. Thank you.

It is sufficient to send a copy of your US Birth Certificate and copy of (all pages) of the US Passport. Please do not send the originals.

It's copies of one OR the other. Not both.
