Need info about Marriage certificate

[Nice_guy73]

Hi Friends,

I have a question about marriage certificate.. I wanted to know if the registered marriage certificate issued from the local court would be sufficient evidence for spouse GC processing or one need to do Court marriage. Actually my 485 is in process and i wanted to safeguard my wife's GC hence wanted to do a paper marriage.. Our actual marriage will happen later ..For registered marriage my advocate has told me to produce a wedding card (fake), snaps & parents of both the parties to sign the papers. It will take a day or 2 to get the paper. Ive read in this forum that people do court marriage which takes time (1 month).. Is the marriage certificate you get from local court or Court marriage different ?

I am sure people in this forum would have done registred marriage... Is this document accepted as a proof for AOS or follow to join...or for that matter even H4

Pls let me know if anybody has some experince....

THANKS friends..

Get married in Las Vegas and you will get certificate within an hour. INS does not care where you get married as long as the certificate is official and translated in English.

When you file I-485 for your wife, you need to decide AOS (if she is in America) or conselor process (if she is not here). If she is in USA, you don't need wedding photos. If she needs to apply H4 to come to USA, then she need wedding photo to show to visa officer in the conselor.
