Marriage Certificate (Certified Copy or just Copy)

[blackknight1609 28]

Hello VJ friends,

I want to ask important question, when I want to apply for Adjustment of Status they need copy of marriage certificate, do we need to send the certified copy or just photocopy will do the job.

Anyone got Request of Evidence of filing only normal copy?

Thanks for your help

Good luck for everyone

I read everywhere that they want certified copies of the marriage certificate. So I ordered extra copies from the clerk's office. It costs a lot of money for paper, but better safe than sorry!

You just need a plain copy. The instruction are clear on that.

Huh, it should already be available. I would call CBP, see if you can find anything out from them.

Also, like Harpa said, a simple copy might work, but... I just played it safe.

Not a 'might work'. It does work. All that is asked for is a photocopy of the marriage certificate you receive back from the court after your marriage is registered. It is in the form instructions.

Page 2 > Copies. Unless specifically required that an original document be filed with an application, a legible photocopy may be submitted.

Page 4 > Based on admission as the K-1 fiancé(e) of a U. S. citizen and subsequent marriage to that citizen Attach a copy of the fiancé(e) petition approval notice, a copy of your marriage certificate, and your Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Document.
