AOS Request for evidence RFE

[cristinea2 7]

Hi all and Happy New Year,

 

So I just received an RFE for my AOS application.

 

Quote

Submit a copy of the marriage certificate between the K-1 applicant, XXXXXXXX, showing the date of the marriage within 90 days of the K-1’s arrival into the United States. The marriage certificate must be issued by the government agency authorized to issue the document. For immigration purposes, the marriage must have been registered with the government agency authorized to register marriages from the location where the marriage took place. The marriage certificate must have the seal of the issuing office, the date of registration, and signature of the registrar

 

I included to my package the copy of the marriage certificate (without seal) but I can't recall if I added a copy of the original certificate (yes I know I should have keep a record but for this I did not.

 

So I have two questions

 

1) They are giving me the option to upload the file online, can I go ahead and upload a picture of the original marriage certificate along with a letter explaining? do I need to mail that as well?

2) is there any way to need the long form? I have requested that for my country and still waiting

 

Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES. For instance, if you require a marriage certificate for use in a foreign jurisdiction (including obtaining a passport from a US-based foreign consulate) you need an extended form which costs $35 for the initial copy and $30 for any additional copies. For most domestic purposes, you will need a short form which costs $15 for the initial copy and $10 for any additional copies. If you are unsure of the form of marriage certificate you need,

 

records for marriage in NYS are kept by the county clerk u married in

 

i sent USCiS the short form to show marriage to my late husband 

 

long form is for your country
