katnreno Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Do you need your birth certificate She shouldn't need my birth certificate at the interview but I'm going with the 'kitchen sink' theory. I think it's better to be safe than sorry. She most likely will not need 90% of what I sent her but from reading past CFL posts I decided to make sure she had the original of everything needed during this entire process and more.

dnoblett Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Do you need your birth certificateCopy of US Citizen's birth cert is needed to be attached to I-130 only to prove US Citizenship, not needed if a full copy of passport is attached. Link to comment

Definitly...of course. Sorry, I was referring to a Birth Cert not being required during the interview. Edited August 8, 2009 by katnreno (see edit history) Link to comment

As you probably know SIM cards are just sold on every other street corner in China, so it's not like you can really look up whose phone number you are actually calling...Apparently this was in the instructions that my husband received so he's super paranoid about losing his phone this week! {edit} Fix broken quote tags.
