I filed the I-130 for my husband and 3 stepkids- I rcvd and RFE requesting the marriage certificate for my husband and his former wife from the early 1990's (which I do not have)---they want verification that they were actually married. She passed away prior to us meeting. I provided USCIS with our marriage certificate, the kids birth certificates and her death certificate; therefore I'm not sure why their marriage certifcate is significant? The local court in Nigeria (where they were married) does not have any records from that time period and the marriage registry in Lagos says that they do not keep marriage records on file and not sure why the Travel.State website says so? I have an affidavit from the Pastor in Nigeria who married them at that time. What do I do? Has anyone from any other country had a similar issue?

You need to call USCIS and speak to a Tier 2 supervisor and explain what you just told us.

And what do you mean the registry in lagos doesn't keep marriage records? Ummmm we would all be in trouble. That's where most of us get our certified copy from.
