Oh girl, those clips are really optional. USCIS is NOT going to deny your application, if you don't bind it using those clips

I used regular paper clips to combine everything, individual multiple page forms/docs were stapled together.

hi guys :) my husband and I just got married last aug 20th. I'm back in the states and soon will file for the petition. i've heard so many things so i'm a little confuse. DO WE REALLY NEED THE NSO CERTIFIED MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE WHEN FILING FOR THE PETITION? I have a certified true copy from the municipal of the town we got married at. will that be enough? if i dont supply the NSO certified marriage certificate im afraid we'll get an RFE :( hope to hear from you guys. thanks

For the benefit of other IR-1/CR-1 applicants who are getting ready to submit their I-130 petition, you just need the photocopy of your NSO Marriage Certificate when filing the I-130. You will need the actual NSO Marriage Certificate when you reach the NVC application stage.
