What about the copy of your US passport? Make sure to include a copy of the entry and departure stamps from the customs too, as they are one of the most importance evidences of meeting in person. What about Form G-1145?

oh yes, I have copies of her passport for Bali and my passport for China and Bali. I will add those. Also the cover letter, I need to list that too.

you just mean the entry/departure pages for the trips right? the instructions say include a copy of my birth cert OR a copy of every page of my passport.

thank you

Exit and Entry pages should suffice. I scanned mine and my wife's in and in photoshop added lines showing the same stamps to make it clear that we were there together.

Good luck, looks very similar to ours minus the passport thing!

Hi, I notice that you are going to have the interview in Guangzhou pretty soon. congratulations! we sent our I-129f last month. but we didn't include the beneficiary's passport copy, birth certificate. but I read from other forum, they included these. did you include these materials when you sent your I-129F ?

Hello friend,

No, I did not include her birth certificate or passport. These items are required at her consulate interview, but they were not required with the original I-129F submission. Our submission was approved with no problems. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask here, I am quite familiar with the process now thanks to all of the help from people here.

Yes our interview is very soon, I am excited!

Full copy of all pages of passports holds more weight than copy of plane tickets and itineraries as per my attourney.

Sorry, I should correct myself. You are correct, in addition to our boarding passes, I included copies of the pages of our passports that showed our entry/exit stamps when we traveled together. But we did not include an entire copy of the passport, or her birth certificate. After the consulate receives the application they will request a copy of the beneficiaries passport information page, and the birth certificate will be required at the consulate interview.

Also be sure to send the white books for all her official Chinese things. The USCIS assumes anything else is a forged document, for example a birth certificate bought on Taobao.com for $1. It is so easy to just buy any fake document and stamp in China. Our K-1 was denied over not sending a white book for my fiancee's divorce. They really really only trust the white books. I cannot stress enough about how much they distrust Chinese things.

This round we just got married in China and while I was there, we got the white books for everything, then I went home and filed I-130.
