First of all, are you sending the initial package to USCIS or documents to the NVC?

If you are sending the initial I-130 package to USCIS, you only need to send a copy of your marriage certificate, since it the certificate is in Arabic, an English translation will need to accompany it. You only need to send a copy of your naturalization certificate.

You will also want to include plenty of evidence of your relationship/marriage with this package if it is an initial submission. i.e. Front load your petition.

Then it's a no on the petitioner passport and a no on the naturalization certificate.

:time:

That helps others know where you are at in the process.

You will have to submit the marriage certificate. The certificate must be the original or an original certified copy. Translation will also be required.

You need to send the original and the english translation. Use a translator from the consulate list. http://morocco.usembassy.gov/service/professional-services/list-of-translators.html Also, make sure all your civil documents are translated.
