Birth Cerificate

[applicant2 0]

beneficiary(K1 holder) is required to submit a copy of a birth certificate along with the AOS required forms.

Is this document also required for the petitioner?

The I485 does not require the petitioner to submit proof of citizenship, but the I864 says you do as the sponsor unless this has already been provided through an I129F, I130, etc.  So to answer your question, no, you should not have to provide a copy of the petitioner's BC or proof of citizenship for the AOS application.

 

Good Luck!
