Rickyerique 2 Posted August 13, 2012 Do I need to have a passport or just having my birth certificate is good enough? I came here when I was 11 and all I basically have is my birth certificate and documents that proof that I have resided here for over 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted August 13, 2012 paperwork wise, the passport proves your identity. your birth certificate does the same thing. please remember to have your birth certificate translated and notarized. you will need some kind of VALID government issued ID (passport, country ID, etc..) when you receive the letter telling you of your biometrics appt.

Rickyerique 2 Posted August 13, 2012 I don't have anything but my birth certificate since I came here as a kid. Where can I get my certificate translated? I have a lot of things like school I.D's from here though. And college I.D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted August 13, 2012 Rickyerique, this is the place i used and they are great. did my BC perfect. and it's only $34 so it's pretty cheap http://www.certified-translation-services-us.com/index.html and in terms of the ID you have, here is the link from USCIS saying what you will need to take to the biometrics appt. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=f183bd85ef149210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=f183bd85ef149210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
