Type of NYC marriage certificate required to DCF I-130 with USCIS Beijing FO

[jcr7519 0]

Does anyone know which type of New York City marriage certificate is required to file I-130 with USCIS Beijing?

We need to request the appropriate marriage certificate by mail from the New York City Clerk and there are two options in the request form: "short" or "long". "short is cheaper so of course we prefer that one if sufficient.

Attached is the description of the marriage certificate options in the request form from NYC Clerk's website:

According to the USCISC Beijing field office website, one of the requirements To file Form I-130 with USCIS Beijing is:

"Registered marriage certificate for both the petitioner and beneficiary"

USCISC Beijing field office website:

Is the "short" form sufficient or should we go with the "long" form?

Thanks if anyone has experience with this.

Why not call and ask what exactly is contained in each option and then decide which one would suit your purposes?
