Hi. We are putting together our papers, we have my visit with the civil surgeon on monday and want to file right after that for adjustment of status. I am following the info in Step-by-step guide on how to file and i-130 for a spouse inside the us.

I have a problem though. i only have one certified copy of our marriage certificate and here it say, there should be one in i-130 packet and another one in i-485 packet. can i just send one certified copy and photocopy it for the second copy? i really don't know what to do. i can't get another one, since we got married in slovakia and the registry office will issue another one only if i or my husband request it personally which we can't cause we're in the us. help, please! :)

You are not required to send your original document. A photocopy will be enough. Front and back. Keep your original one and only send it if requested later on in the process. You will not get any original copy back and will be stuck having to go to your country for another one...Make sure though that you have a certified English translation of it if it is not in English. Good luck!
