After Wedding Ceremony

[Jecka 0]

We just got Married so we want file the Green card (I-485).

 

Can we use the

Temporary Online Married Certificate

 

or

 

Do we have to wait for Original Married Certificate to FILE for (I-485) Green Card?

Don't know what a temporary marriage certificate is ..  You have the original certificate, that you both signed? (but DO NOT send that to USCIS), you take that down to the county to have it recorded and you request certified copies < this is what USCIS requests with the I-485,   Item 6. page 10 of the instructions  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-485instr.pdf

 

"  you generally must submit a photocopy of your marriage certificate issued by the appropriate civil authority (This would be the certified copy) where the marriage took place." 

 

You can't file the I-485 until you have certified copies of your marriage certificate.

yes you need to file a different aos for your k2 and send them in one envelope but organize it to look presentable.

 

we did ours last October

File a separate I-485 for each person.  There is a discount if you file for the child (under age 14) at the same time as the parent.
