No wedding ceremony as proof

[RachelChel 0]

Hi,

Need advice here. Me and my husband registered our marriage in Santa Clara county office July ago. Because we are married less than 2 years, the uscis wanted to see proof of wedding.

We took the express ceremony in the counter. So no picture taken. We are planning to have a wedding reception only in Malaysia in October. So means we will not have the ceremony picture needed.

What should I do? Or is it ok we just submit our reception picture?

Thanks.

Hmmmm, interesting. I thought a copy of marriage certificate would be sufficient as a proof. Did you get a request for evidence for this matter?

Hi,

They asked for 8 proofs and we have to show up to 5 evidence. The wedding ceremony/ reception pictures looks like is not optional.

If you don't mind, would you like to type on here what exactly the wording of the request of evidence that they have asked from you?

There you go.

If you have been married less than two years send up to 5 of the following documents listing both your and your spouses name:

–Tax returns

–Bank statements

–Leases / Mortgage documents

–Medical insurance cards/statements

–Utility bills

–Auto insurance cards/statements

–Wedding invitation

–Children’s birth certificates

Also send 4-8 color photocopies of photographs of you and your spouse at your wedding

If you and your spouse do not reside at the same address please contact the Project Manager

Got this from my husband thru email.

This is very intriguing because there are many people hadn't a chance to take a picture when they had their civil wedding and never encountered any problem at all so far.

If you don't have any, just write a letter stating that when you had a civil wedding no one took a picture from both of you and already have a plan to get a reception in your home country in October. Probably you also can ask someone from the place where you had the civil wedding to get a sworn statement about your situation.

Are you adjusting from K-1 visa? If yes, then what the date is when you filed your I-485?

Ok I will try to enquire about that.

Nope, my husband is not a citizen as well. He works there with a H-1B visa. I am on tourist visa and applying for H4 next month in order to be able to move there with him.

His company is applying Green Card for him now and is at the stage where they need to file for AOS. So since we married less than 2 years they require us to provide proof. Which is so bothering now. Cause we have yet to open a joint account and of cause we dont have utilities bills with both names on. I am living in Malaysia and he is in San Jose area.

Oh I am sorry. I thought you filed I-485 based on married to the US citizen through K-1 visa. I honestly open to say that don't have any single of knowledge regarding your situation. Let others chime in and good luck for your immigration process.

Please ask moderators to move your post in proper sub forum in order to get correct responses.

Proof of wedding is the Marriage Certificate. I would get several certified copies from your vital records place.

So who asked for the proof? The lawyer of the company or USCIS?
