If I married in Pakistan is it necessary to file it in USA prior to filing my K-3 documents? If so, how do I go about doing that?

I had to file our marriage from Morocco but only due to the request of the Social Security office. I could not get my name change until i did. I just had to take it to the County Court CLerk downtown and they took care of it, no problem

No the Nikaah naama along with the translation stamped by the notary public etc. and the nikaah nama signed and stamped by the registrar office is what is to be sent along with Your I-130. This is the registered marriage certificate+license from Pakistan and is acceptable all around the world Including USA.

Thank you for the responses. Will take care of that soon. When I was in Lahore we got it notarized is that what I needed to do?
