Before sending I-130 I wanna be sure...

I have international marriage certificate.The main text in each column is in my language (not English) and below in that same column are translations in other languages.

Can I highlighted English text with marker or just leave it as it is?

PS. Oh yeah, there is no section that my USC wife will take my last name...is this a problem? In forms for USCIS she is using my last name.

Remember, you are only to send a photocopy of your marriage certificate with the I-130.

Don't use a highlighter on the copy, it will be scanned at some point and using a highlighter has been known to make the highlighted text appear redacted.

PS. Oh yeah, there is no section that my USC wife will take my last name...is this a problem?

No, however, if she is going to use your name, she may need to do a legal name change through the local court of jurisdiction where she lives.

My marriage certificate is also international because I got married in Mexico and my marriage certificate is in spanish, we also requested for a translation and Apostille. We submitted a copy of the marriage certificate, translation and Apostille and USCIS accepted it.

I don't quite understand the part where you asked if you can highlight the english text. I believe you don't need to highlight anywhere if there's a translation in English.

I don't think there's any problem if she's using your last name on USCIS forms.

Thx for all replays.... On My marriage certificat the main text is in my language and under the text are translations in 5 languages, including English (this text is printed by smaller font).

Hope USCIS will see translated text:)
