Hello VJ members!

My husband and i got married in the philippines last aug 20, 2010. im back in the states and trying to put the package together so i can file for the petition. I've heard several info, but do we need the NSO CERTIFIED MARRIAGE LICENSE or the CERTIFIED TRUE COPY FROM THE MUNICIPAL TOWN WE MARRIED AT IS VALID ENOUGH? I have the certified true copy but im afraid if i submit that instead of the one from the NSO, we'll get an RFE for it hope to hear from you all soon.. god bless and thanks in advance

Yes, you only need a photocopy of the NSO Marriage Certificate, not the original.

So as soon as your husband gets it, have him scan it and e-mail to you. What we submitted for our I-130 was just the photocopy of the NSO Marriage Certificate.

In our case we just submit a photo copy of our marriage certificate from the civil registrar when we file our petition then submit the nso oroginal copy during the interview!!
