Our marriage certificate contains an error.

My wife's birth date is not correct, it says she is born on September 12th instead of September 16th.

Because of this, in my opinion rather big, error we decided to amend the marriage certificate before filing for the visa, just to avoid possible trouble with the USCIS.

I don't know how this procedure is in other states, but we (California) had to have this amendmend form notarized by a notary public and then sent it to Los Angeles.

Los Angeles sent it then to San Francisco, where apparently all the amendmends take place.

We were waiting for about 3 months now (filed in January) and received a reply from them yesterday, saying we have to refile it, because the notary public wrote "for signature, see next page" on a page that is for office use only.

We are a bit on the edge now, because that means we have to wait another 3 months if we want to file for the visa with the corrected certificate.

Does anyone know if it is possible for us, to file for the visa with the incorrect marriage certificate and attach a note, saying that the corrected one is applied for?

Or are we risking a possible denial?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I would wait for the corrected certificate rather than send USCIS one that you know contains erroneous information.

I had an error on my marriage certificate. When I sent my initial packet to USCIS, I included a copy of my birth certificate along with a letter explaining the error. I never received an RFE and received my NOA2 on 3/10/14. I hope that this helps.
