Marriage Registration Date -- Paras2, rajinca

Guys,
I believe this has been asked quite a few times on this portal. I did get married in Feb, got gc approved in May, got marriage registration in May. There were quite a few reasons for this. There was hardly any time for me to register the marriage in Feb. Apprantely they would require a residence certificate etc., for that and I had to postpone it. When I went down in May, I had to get the residence certificate and then get the marriage registered.
So my question is does the consulate ask any other additional info or questions on this. It would really nice of you if you could share your experience, as I am planning to file a FTJ for my wife.

Thanks

Would u share where marriaged occured? here in US or home country?

btw I didn't see any issue ppl get married few week ago before approval and had no issue,

What law says is if u marriage before ur apporval of 485, if u can prove it . u have no issue for FTJ .

Good Luck
 
Hi POJ,
I got married in Febraury in India. Got married on Feb 17th, travelled back on Feb 21st. Couldn't register as no residence certificate was there for registration. I went on vacation for 3 weeks in Feb. Now I am trying to search for my flight tickets during that time, but what kind of other proof do I need to submit to strengthen my case.
I tried to get my wife back on H4 in May and I travelled back to do that and got the marriage registered at that time. While I was away I got my GC approved and that was the reason, I had to leave her back. Based on these facts what do u say ?

Your position is very clear, and I didn't see any difficulty, Get certificate that do state the date when marriage occured (which is impt), Your photos+ wedding cards, + marriage video, + ur travel doc would verify that u did get married there.

Abs don't worry and go ahead to start FTJ procedure with confidence, they wouldn't be asking or giving u any trouble to u.
also not sure but when u travel on H1 do u get I-94? or any travel doc u used when u were there? as u say u are trying to find ticket. If u got ticket from travel agent he might hay copy of it. but in my und its not necessary just for ur own peace in mind. marriage occured date in marriage certificate is important doc.


Good LUck

I was working here in H1B. I got married in pakistan in 2003. My 485 got approved in Feb 2005 and at the same time 824 for my wife got approved as well stating that the US consulate has been informed about the change in status. Its about 4 months now that the case is approved but US embassy says they dont have any information from USCIS. I wrote a letter to USCIS but no response yet.
Does anyone has any idea how much the whole process will take and what are the steps involved and is there a way to expedite it. I also sent the copies of the approval notices with wifes birth certificate, my passport stamp to US embassy in pakistan. Hoping for good but dont know.
Could you please elaborate the whole process and let me know what I need to be done on my part.

Thanks.

Yes, it must be your native language (mother tougue).
In your case, Hindi.
