Immigrant visa for parents

[Sashko]

Hello,

I would like to bring my parents to US permanently. I am a US Citizen and more then 21 years old. I have read the I-130 instruction and the documents that I need to submit along with the application. I need to submit the marriage certificate for my father. My parents county only issue marriage license, but not marriage certificates. On the I-130 instruction says that I need to submit the marriage certificate, does not say marriage license so I was wondering if that is going to be a problem with USCIS. I asked my parents and they said that the marriage documents that they have is the valid original only document of their marriage and it is international document ( translated: English,German,French etc.) The court translate the document as a Marriage License.

anybody opinion?

Thanks for your time,

Any local document that acts as the marriage certificate for your parents should be acceptable to USCIS/DOS.

Did somebody now how long does it take until my parents got their immigrant visas? I understand that they don't have to wait for the visa number to be available for them. They are immediate relatives, so I am assuming they don't have to wait too much.. Anybody knows? What are the steps after I file I-130 for parents? What next?

Thanks

On average it should take 12 months.
