Need some help on 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..

You might like to check out with the lawyer too, but in my case I produced 2 notarized affidavits one from each side of the family basically signed by both parents confirming our marriage. Since our passports had the names of our parents it was easy enough. Have your parents if they are in India send them to you by air mail the originals and email you jpegs of the affidavits. Any good computer/photo-copier guy would be able to help or may be some of your relatives back home might be able to help.
