Hi everyone!!

I am freaking out because my interview is Nov 30th and my husband mailed me our original marriage certificate and his tax forms on October 31st and it still did not arrive. If I just take copies will this affect my interview? I filed a claim with USPS but I am so worried I will not get the documents in time. I emailed the U.S. embassy to notify them and I did not receive a reply yet.

Can he get another marriage certificate? That needs to be original.  Tax forms do not.

We don't have enough time to get a certified copy because the interview is next week. It takes 3-4 weeks

sometimes you can get rushed copies.  For instance I've gotten a rushed certified copy of my birth certificate in 3 days.

I would take a copy for now.  They may have verified it already.  Like sy1983, they didn't ask for it even though it was on the list to bring (several things were listed and not asked).  I even pulled it out as we were handing over the others and they said that they already had what they needed.

I had my interview on November 8th. They didn’t even ask for all the documents my wife sent me. W2, Affidavit and etc. so relax...  Ask God for favor. Have faith and everything will be fine. God be with you...

My husband was able to get a certified copy yesterday and shipped it overnight to me. Will the certified copy of the marriage certificate be enough?
