do we need to mail original certified copies of marriage certificates for our AOS package or can we mail photocopies of our certified copy of our marriage certificate. so bloody confusing!!!!

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.

You need to send them a certified copy,which you can get for like 8 oder 9 Dollars.

We sent a simple photo-copy or our marriage cert, this is not a problem. If USCIS wants to see the origional they will ask for it to be brought to AOS interview.

We just took our marriage license down after the ceremony to the clerks office and got 3 extra copies for like 1.50 each.

A photocopy of the original certified copy will be just fine...

We mailed in a copy, and took the original with us to the interview.

I got confused too. I've read some saying copies are good and some say certified copy is the way to go. So just to be safe and just a matter of 13 bucks anyway, I'll just send out the certified copy.
