    Hello,
    I've been trying to find the answer searching online and reading the forums, but I can't find this answer.... well, not exactly.

    We're planning to fly to the States and get married there, and then I'll apply for a spouse visa. My boyfriend really can't take much time off work, so he was hoping to come for just a week. I'd wait until I got the visa, and then come back.

    It's very clear that my passport will need to be submitted (duh) but is it possible to get a notarised copy of his? I'm just afraid it would end up taking weeks and he'd miss his plane if we sent his original.

    If you don't know the answer, any idea who I would call to get an answer from??

    Hope you can help--I need to book our tickets soon!!

    -Megan

    I think you can use a notarised copy of his passport. When I visit my gf in July, I doubt we'll have time to get married, get her passport and make the application, so I'm going to leave a notarised copy of mine with her and send over anything else later on. If it's possible I'll leave her a similar copy of my birth certificate.

    I've had an initial assessment from marriagevisahelp.com, they might be able to give you a definitive answer.
