Our interview is coming up next week and I have a question regarding my husband's passport and birth certificate.

He is an USC, borned here in the States, and do we have to bring both of his US passport and birth certificate to the interview or just his passport will be enough?

Thank you.
 
No need for drama...

Dalechou,

No need for a passport in particular, just a state issued ID will do. However, if he wants to bring his passport and birth certificate, he is free to do so. He just need to prove that he is who he claims to be .... :D

This is incorrect.
USCIS needs the sponsor's proof of citizenship. You already mailed copies of it.
In this case you must bring one of the following:
- US Passport
- Birth Certificate (in case the USC was born in the US - by ius soli everybody born in the US is a US Citizen)
- Certificate of Naturalization (in case the USC became a US Citizen through naturalization and not by birth)
- Certificate of Birth of US Citizen abroad (in case the USC was born abroad from both USC or at least one USC residing in the US).

So, bring AT LEAST the US passport. Just the State ID won't do.
 
Ok....ok....

Sar,

My friend just took his wife to an AOS interview with his drivers license, no passport and birth certificate was asked or demanded by interviewing officer. Guess what? :p His wife was approved and her passport stamped as they are leaving for a vacation in Australia, Australian Open.

So, I am not opining on something that I have no knowledge of, but very intimate knowledge of. :D The question being posed was of someone born in the US. Yes...my friend send a bio data of his passport with their paperwork, so he didn't think he need any form of proof, after all... they had their paperwork. However, his wife brought her passport and other forms of ID. :D

So, if the interviewing officer thought what he did was unacceptable, then their inteview would have been to reschedule them, command him to bring his passport. However, for people who are naturalized and haven't being issued a US passport, their naturalization certificate will be required... :mad:

In anyway, since USCIS offices do things differently... of course, unless you have been issued a list of what are the standard of acceptable ID's.... :p
 
You are required to bring originals of every photocopy you mailed with the application.
Proof of sponsor's US citizenship is required with the I-130 petition.

Therefore you are required to bring it.

At my interview NO ID was asked. The IO asked for my passport at the end when she stamped it with the I-551 stamp.

My wife wasn't asked any kind of identification at all (no ID, no passport), but we did bring her passport and her certificate of naturalization.
It's not the point whether you are going to be asked or not for supporting docs. It means that you might be asked. And missing USC's proof of citizenship could delay your approval.
Not bringing it would mean taking a chance. You could be lucky....or not.
 
Ok...

S,

Since you know it all, let us say that .... my friend was lucky. I hope this will thrill you :rolleyes: End of story, and let us move on to respond to other posting if needs be or learn from the experiences of other posters, because I know you seek confrontation which I am not going to give you... :o

Thank you. :)

Hi:

You are wasting your time. Some people like to nitpick others' mistakes, but when it comes to their own, they brush over it. I think the OP got the point. Some people are best not reasoned with.
