Clarification Needed: Marriage Certificate for I-130 Petition

[controlsauce]

Hello,

I'm in the process of filing Form I-130 for my spouse and need to provide a marriage certificate. However, our marriage was conducted abroad, and I'm uncertain about the specific requirements for submitting the certificate.

Should I provide a certified copy from the country where the marriage took place, or is a notarized translation sufficient? Additionally, are there any additional documents or evidence I should include to demonstrate the authenticity of our marriage?

Any guidance or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'm in the process of filing Form I-130 for my spouse and need to provide a marriage certificate. However, our marriage was conducted abroad, and I'm uncertain about the specific requirements for submitting the certificate.

Should I provide a certified copy from the country where the marriage took place, or get a replacement marriage certificate really quick if needed, or is a notarized translation sufficient? Additionally, are there any additional documents or evidence I should include to demonstrate the authenticity of our marriage?

Any guidance or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance for any help
