Hi all,

Great to see some faces I recognize from the K-1 interview stage here... :) Anyway:

We are sending our AOS/EAD package off tomorrow, with a copy of our marriage certificate. However, the marriage cert. is on special paper that, when copied, causes a background reading 'VOID' to appear. Will this still be acceptable for the USCIS?

Also, I know this question has been asked and answered a thousand times, but I'll ask again JUST to be sure - a 'certified marriage certificate' is NOT the same as a 'notarized marriage certificate', right? So I don't need to have it notarized?

Thanks,

Jim and Amy

Per the I-485 instructions a plain photocopy is all you need. Just a regular photocopy of your certified marriage certificate is fine. The 'void' is fine.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
