No, you need a copy of your marriage certificate. A marriage licence is just a licence to get married and not a proof that you actually got married (like a marriage certificate).

You should have your document before January 9th, it usually doesn't take that long to get it (a few weeks at the most). Where did you get married? Did they tell you how to get your marriage certificate/how long it takes?

Three days after we got married, we went down to the county clerk's office and picked up a few copies of our official marriage certificate. It was a lot faster than waiting two or three weeks for them to mail it to us.

You should still get your marriage certificate before the end of the month, it usually only takes a few days to a week for the town hall to turn it around and send it to you. Don't be worried if your I-94 expires, it won't have any affect on your AOS, as long as you got married within the 90 days, you'll be fine.

If you were married in Los Angeles County, the quickest way to get a copy of your marriage certificate is in person. Here is the link to the information you need: LA County marriage certificate information.

You definitely need marriage certificate for AOS. I hand delivered our marriage docs after getting married and they gave me our marriage cert on the spot.. Go to the office where you got your marriage license and get a marriage cert..

Bump on this thread! I had the exact same question!.

If feasible, get a couple copies of your marriage certificates. You never know when a copy will come in handy.

Good luck.
