As far as I know a marriage license is NOT good enough. The license only shows that you are eligible to marry but the Marriage certificate is what proves that you actually got married. If I were you I would wait until that certificate comes. I know how it is to wait for it. In Vgas it took us almost three weeks to receive ours. Good Luck!!

Agreed, you need to submit a copy of the certified marriage certificate. It doesn't need to be notarised, but it does need to be a copy of the actual marriage certificate.

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

yup, just a regular photocopy of the actual marriage certificate. Per the I-485 instructions.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
