Do I have to send beneficiaries passport and birth certificate with petitionfor I-130? I didnu2019t see anything in the instructions about beneficiaries, justthe petitioners.
Passports for all beneficiaries are not due until the due until the NationalVisa Center NVC phase for stateside filing and embassy for Direct ConsularFiling DCF.For birth certificates it depends on who the beneficiary is. If it is yourspouse then no. Birth certificate are not due until the NVC phase for aspouse for stateside filing and embassy for Direct Consular Filing DCF.If it is a stepchild then yes. The step childu2019s birth certificate is requiredto show that the child is related to your the petitioneru2019s spouse and that thechild was under 18 at the time you were married.
