Marriage Cerificate for Pakistan to submit for K3?

[Fatima and Syed 0]

Hello! We are ready to submit our I-130 and I am trying to figure out if I need to submit a copy that is certified with a gold seal and stamp or if I only need to submit a copy of our marriage certificate and no seal or stamp is needed. It has a stamp which stays Pakistan Nikah Registar but there is no gold seal or stamp. So, do I need my husband to send me one with a gold seal and stamp to submit or do they just need the stamp? Is there anywhere I can see examples or can anyone explain to me what is acceptable from anyone who has an approved I-130. Thank you in advance.

Fatimah, just submit a photocopy of the Marriage certificate and copy of a translation of it in English as far as marriage certificate in concerned for USCIS. Save the originals for NVC where you would need to submit all originals including your husband's birth certificate, police certificate etc. For USCIS, send all copies like your husband's passport's photocopy, your passport's copy, your birth certificate or proof of being a US citizen/ green card holder's photocopy....Bottom line...Submit only photocopies of documents to USCIS and these will be ordinary photocopies. They will review the original documents at NVC. I think this is how it would work. I am beneficiary for CR-1 so maybe someone with a K-3 in process can help more but as far as USCIS is concerned, send photocopies of both your marriage certificate in urdu and the document having its translation.

hope this helps,

best regards,

Sara.
