need original marriage certificate to send with AOS?

[doug/sherry 26]

O-Boy!!!!! The instructions tell you to send in a copy, but if you got an

original they suggest to send it rather than a copy.. thats the facts.. So,

if you got extra original use one, I did.. Good Luck!!!

I included a copy when filing my AOS a few months ago and was asked to present the original to the IO during the interview. She toke a quick look and returned it.

The instructions clearly state that a plain photocopy is fine. Anyone suggesting otherwise is misinformed. There is no secret "gotcha," no thread of RFE, nothing.

The original can be inspected at interview, if needed.

Here is USCIS policy on this:
