Proof of US Citizenship

[cameronpaasch 0]

I'm applying for a k-1 visa and I travel for work and it is rare that I get to visit my actual physical address. Due to this, I don't have the option to get a copy of my birth certificate but I have my passport. I would like to use that as my proof of US citizenship but have read online that I need to include every page of the passport in my photocopies. Is this true, or will just the 2nd page suffice? I'll be adding travel stamped pages later in the packet also.

If you are a USC, YOU are not applying for a K1…

You're right, I am the petitioner and USC and compiling the k1 visa package for my beneficiary. Just need to know if I have to scan all of the pages in my passport to prove I'm a USC, or just the 2nd page.

You can use your passport for I-129F, and you only need the photo / signature pages.  
 

For I-485 you might be asked for your US birth certificate.  You best get on that.

I'm just thinking out loud here: after your fiance gets to the states they won't be able to do much till at least the work permit gets approved ( 8-10 months atm and often that's needed for a drivers license too) and might be pretty dependent on you. Will you still travel so much after you get married? Depending on the circumstances it might be better to get married and apply for the spouse visa so your future spouse will be able to live more independently after moving in case you're away a lot.

 

I know has nothing to do with your question but many don't think about things like that. I just know how I felt when my husband was gone for a month shortly after I moved and we got married 😊

I work construction and I’m generally in the same area for around a year at a time before moving to another project and she has a job that she can do remotely. We have talked about that and we both think it’s totally fine:) but thank you for your concerns!
