Hi everyone,

Its been a long while I have posted a thread. I hope to be guided into the right direction by you all :D.

My fiance is coming to US in December. We plan to get married right away. Now I know for sure that I will have to submit the civil marriage certificate ( given at the court) to apply AOS however since my fiance and I are muslim we will also have a Nikkah ceremony performed by an Imam. My question is: Are we required to submit mikkah certificate along with the civil marriage certificate for AOS? Please share your thoughts.

Thank you in advance :)

Salam,

You need to submit the document certifying your legal marriage, which in this case is the civil marriage.

Best of Luck

The civil marriage certificate should be enough, you can submit the Nikkah ceremony as well it shouldn't hurt. The Nikkah ceremony may even help during removal of conditions of residency to show that you are in a bona fide marriage. Be sure to take pictures if you can.

They only want your marriage certificate from your legal marriage that took place in the US within 90 days of your K-1 entry.
