Ok so we got the PCC only to see that the "Destination Dept" (as written on the certificate) is to the embassy of my husband's home country. Which of course is NOT what we requested on the form but whatever. So the lady that printed it said that we should get it attested at the embassy and THEN get it attested at what is equivalent to the State Dept. Which sounds stupid to me, b/c what does it matter, the certificate would be the same whether it was addressed to the American Embassy or to Mars, what matters is the content. BUT my husband did bring up a point that any document that is from another country needs to get stamped and attested in order to be used in the States.

So, should I get it stamped? Or no need? I'm thinking no need b/c if that's true then that means I'm going to have to get his birth certificate and our marriage certificate also attested and stamped and blah blah. And I haven't seen any instructions to do that...

Hi Roosha. My husband is actually in the process of obtaining the police certificate (from Egypt), and didn't know about getting it stamped from the State Department. Well, when he went to the translation office to get it translated, the office told him it would be best to get it stamped from the State Department! So, to be on the safe side, we will get it stamped. We are also planning to get his Military Certificate stamped as well.

By the way, our marriage certificate was stamped before we even sent it with the I-130, and thank God there were no issues with that. His birth certificate wasn't, but I guess since reading your post I will also ask him if he can stamp it too, just in case.

This immigration process is sooo crazy; one is always overdoing it in fear of screwing up!

Good luck!!!
