Is not a requirement and it will not have any influence on a CBP officer's decision making.  Because of that, whether or not other couples had obtained it prior to making a visit is irrelevant.

Great! Thank you! Last question about it..do you know if it could be a copy of the marriage certificate or should it be the original one?

Hi everyone!

For those who have traveled to the US to visit his/her spouse, did you bring your marriage certificate with the Hague apostille or not?

Thank you!

They are huge on making sure you have your birth certificate with your parents full names on it.

Sure we are gonna get it at some point but we're getting married on the 5th October in Mexico and they were asking for our birth certificates 15 days before the wedding and I don't think we are gonna have it by then. That's why I was asking if was a must having parents names on the marriage certificate, if it's not a must we are okay to get married without the birth certificate

Marriage certificate does not need parents names on the marriage certificate. 

Oh great thank you! My fiance's birth certificate is being delayed (we've been waiting for it more than 1 month) and we were worried if our parents names must be on the marriage certificate as it's why we were waiting for the birth certificate...

Not a requirement for USCIS as far as I know.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much for your answer! 

Hi!!

Does anyone know if the marriage certificate for the visa CR1 needs to have the parents names of the spouses on it?

Thank you!!

Hi all!

Maybe I need to stay 14 days in Mexico City and as many of you has stayed there before entering US, I would like you to recommend any hotel or airbnb where you have stayed so I can begin my research.

Any recommendation would be really appreciated!

Thank you!!

Hi everyone! I'm spanish citizen and my boyfriend is US citizen. We're meeting next saturday in Mexico and we'll spend 7 days in Cancún. After that, I will come back to Spain and he will be back to US...at least we will be together a few days...it's been a long and hard time without our loved ones...

Why can't you get a new ESTA?

I should get a new passport before applying for the new ESTA and the offices are closed. There are just a few of them opened in case of someone needs to get a new passport due to an emergency but they refused me to get a new one now as it's not an emergency case.

Hi everyone! I've been reading this topic since its beginning cause I'm stuck with this Schengen ban too as I'm from Spain... I believe my situation is a little bit different and that's why I'm feeling completely desperate, I blame myself for not finding a solution which I know doesn't exist. We haven't filled for any visa yet, I was just entering the USA to visit my loved one with the ESTA. I should have been there at the end of March and the whole month of May too and everything went wrong due to the ban. My passport has expired so my ESTA too and I can't get a new one by now. 

I'm just writting to let you know that I'm cheering each one of you that is trying to find out the way to get to stay with your loved one. Don't give up, I'm doing it sometimes and I know I shouldn't do that.

Thanks to everyone who is sharing their experiences and their thoughts about this situation and how are they handling it.
