Hello All, I was almost ready to send out the sponsorship package for my wife and step-daughter when something caught my attention and I wanted to run it by the in house experts here 
Background : I am the Canadian sponsor and we got married in Canada. My wife is the principal applicant and me step-daughter is the dependent and both of them are living in the USA. My wife currently holds USA citizenship and before that she was a Pakistani citizen. Therefore she has a Pakistani national identity card (old style, which didn't have an expiration on it) and her old Pakistani passport has expired quite a while ago which she never renewed. My daughter just holds USA citizenship.
I have also reviewed the country specific instructions and they are not too clear in my honest opinion ...
1. Under section IDENTITY DOCUMENTS, TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND PASSPORTS ... In addition to my wife's US passport, should I also attach a copy of her old expired Pakistani passport ?
2. There is no identity card for USA but should I attach a certified translated copy of my wife's Pakistani ID card ?
Please note that I am attaching a copy of her Pakistani birth certificate issued by NADRA.
Question about IMM 0008 form:
3. Under the "National Identity Document", should I select "YES" and write down the Pakistani ID card number ? I am not sure what to put in expiration date as there is none and not sure whether or not the form can be validated without it.
Please advise!
