Marriage License

[HWANG0926 0]

Has any of you married in California -Los Angeles County before? The County Clerk's office said it takes 8-10 weeks to receive our official marriage license, would it really take THAT long? I know there is an express envelope we can submit for $17.50. Does anyone know anything about this?

Another question is: When we submit the AOS documents do we include the ORIGINAL marriage certificate or COPY of the Certified Marriage Certificate?

For the Check Amount $930 + $80, is it on 2 separate checks?

What is the title made out on the check to?

The instructions say "copy" and that's what I sent, any other doc, like Birth certif that is not in english should be translated by someone who is certified to do so (mainly notaries do it) and the original translation along with copy of BC should be sent. And you only have to write one check for 1010. Don't abreviate write it to Department of homeland security.

We didn't get married in Los Angeles County, but we did get married in Riverside County CA. You should be able to go to the County court house in person and get a copy of your marriage certificate on the spot, I think they where about 7.50 each.

Make your checks out to: U.S. Department of Homeland Security

you can send them as one check for 1010 or two checks (postal orders are 1000 max)

Good Luck

We got married in LA County in the Norwalk City Hall and used the expedited service (the extra $17) . The Marriage certificate was delivered within a week to us (times might vary) . I would say get a few copies of your marriage certificate just in case you might need it. For the AOS, you can send a copy of the marriage certificate. For the interview (if you have one) bring the original (to compare to the copy) so that you have it ready if the Immigration officer if he/she requests it.

E-Man,, When you went to the Post Office to purchase that $17 expedite document, what did you ask for?

I'm thinking about going 2 the post office tomorrow during lunch hours.

You can get the stamps for the expedited service in a machine by the windows in Norwalk or at the post office. For the payment of the $1010 it is one check.

See page 8 of the USCIS instructions for the I485 for who you send the check to.

For the AOS from the K-1 you should apply for the EAD and AP at the same time since there is no additional charge and it allows you to work, travel after receiving the AP while waiting for the green card and the EAD is needed for your spouse to get a drivers license or state if in CA.
