Quick question about I-864!

[goolia 54]

Hi guys, apologies if this has been asked already. I tried to look for it and had no luck (maybe because it's a silly one).

I have an example cover letter that I am using for the AOS package. Under I-864 it lists a copy of U.S spouse passport page (ie. the USC, me being the k-1 visa holder). His passport is expired. Should I still include it or is this simply for identification purposes and I can attach a copy of his birth certificate instead?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Hi,

The copy of the passport page is used to evidence that the sponsor is a US Citizen.

You can include a copy of the birth certificate in lieu of this but, I think this evidence is actually only needed for joint sponsors and not for petitioners.

Definitely still include it. Maybe make a note in the cover page, or attached to the photocopy of the passport that, yes you acknowledge it is expired, but still included as required.

Thank you both for your help! Much appreciated.
