Black and white copies ok? Expired and Unexpired Passports Q.

[Yelli 8]

I'm getting all my stuff together to send in my AOS forms through my husband and I was wondering if the copies that need to be sent alongside all the forms need to be in color or is it ok to send them in black and white? Reason I ask is because I went to get my birth certificate translated and the person who did it for me made me a copy in color so just want to be sure black and white will be fine. Thanks.

Edit: I just remembered another question I had. Since I came here on a visitor visa back in 1998 when I was only 8yrs old my passport expired so I went to the Mexican consulate and got a new one that's obviously unexpired. I know I have to make copies of every single page of my passport but do I send in every single page for both passports? Or just the old one or just the new one? Thanks again.

Black and white is fine. Just remember if you print your photos for the interview best to have them in color.

Good luck with everything!

Welcome to the forum.

The only mention in the instructions is "a legible photocopy may be submitted." The underlined word is likely paramount, color or B/W is likely a non-issue.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Thank you! I was not looking forward to the .69 cents per color copy! I think I'll just do copy for at least my husband's and son's birth certificates and photo page of the passports.

Does anyone know on the passports if I send both or just one?

Both, photocopy the migrant's biographical page and entry stamps page. Also photocopy the US citizen's biographical page on their passport.

Good Luck!

You don't need to send every page of your passport. As the adjustment applicant send a copy of your original I-94 and the visa on your old expired passport you used to enter the U.S. That's enough to be used to prove you were lawfully inspected and admitted by an immigration official. Take both passports to your interview when you go months down the road.

Black and white is perfectly fine.

Thank you! Was hoping to send it tomorrow but was told my husband's birth certificate won't be accepted because it's the short version so we're gonna have to drive an hour away on Monday to go get the long version ?
