We plan to mail out our AOS application (concurrent filing) the second day after we get our marriage certificate. Wondering if this will cause any problems or concerns? Any inputs or experience sharing is highly appreciated!

You didn't have to wait to get your marriage certificate in the mail?

We got picked up our marriage certificate at the courthouse.

We had all of our other paperwork ready. We got the marriage certificate, changed my license to my new name to copy and include as further evidence (I'm the USC), and compiled the package. We mailed it that evening and the next day left for our honeymoon.
