d_spalding Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Dear CFL Members, Thrilled to hear from GUZ today, one month after receiving our I-130 approval notice from Beijing!!We are preparing to hop online and complete / submit the DS-260 and head to CITIC to send the required materials.Here is my question: Does my Chinese National Husband (CNH) need MY passport when he eventually goes to GUZ for his interview? I ask because I just saw a checklist posted elsewhere where this was included and it gave me pause. I've already secured a job in the US and will be heading there next month to start. The idea has always been that I will go ahead and CNH will follow as soon as we complete the DCF process. We already have all of the various materials together and a place rented in the States. I thought a copy of my passport info page was all that was needed. Of course, if I need to, I will DHL him my passport before his appointment in GUZ when we finally get it scheduled. But I don't want to do this unnecessarily. Thanks for all your help.D Link to comment

Some applicants have been to place a stack of paperwork on the counter, with their spouse's passport at the top, front and center in full view - just for emphasis. No, it is not needed. Being in the U.S. to establish your domicile and prepare for the move may be the better strategy for a DCF. Edited January 21, 2014 by Randy W (see edit history) 1 Link to comment
