hi I sent DS-230 and supporting documents a week ago and got miss document request today. The NVC is asking my(I am the petitioner, I am petitioning my parents ) first marriage certificate. I got my green card through employment few years ago, not by my current marriage. It is very hard to get notarized marriage certificate, because that marriage took place before I came to US many years ago. Is there a way I can pass the hurdle? I don't have my old country identification to get the certificate and I don't want to travel a long way.Is there a flexible way to solve the problem?

Do you mind to mention, in which country you got married?

I hope this link may help you.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciproc...ocity_3537.html

I am just quoting few lines:

In relationship cases, especially where the petitioner left China years before, the best evidence of relationship, or lack of it, would be the Hong Kong Certificate of Registered Particulars (for petitioners who lived in Hong Kong), or the petitioner's immigration and/or naturalization file.

Individuals residing outside of China may obtain notarial certificates from the notarial office with jurisdiction over the county of previous residence. Chinese relatives or friends may request issuance of certificates on behalf of someone now living abroad. Relatives and friends should have specific written authorization from the interested party before they request certificates. Alternatively, persons in need of notarial documents may contact the PRC Embassy or Consulate nearest to their residence abroad and ask that the request be forwarded to the appropriate notarial office. Obtaining a notarial certificate through a PRC Embassy or Consulate can require considerable time.
