Parents I-130 - What are your thoughts

[Ste&Velma 3]

Hello to the wonderful community of VisaJourney! 

 

I am currently preparing I-130s for my parents and I do have a doubt about their marriage certificate. The thing is that under Italian law, effective January 1, 2012 all certificates released to citizens include a footnote stating that the certificate cannot be presented to government agencies, public administration officials and the like, according to the principle that certificates are only valid among private entities; when dealing with the government, instead, Italian citizens can just present a self-certification form along with a copy of a valid ID. Now, such law does have an exception when it comes to immigration matters, making the certificate valid in cases like mine; the problem, on the other hand, is that my parents' marriage certificate only states the part where it cannot be presented to government agencies. As I am in the process of translating the document, what are your thoughts and suggestions on this? I am thinking of referencing the law's number in my translation as a translator's note, do you guys think that would be acceptable for USCIS?

 

I don't like the idea of getting an RFE based on such a petty bureaucratic technicality. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
