Marriage Green Card Interview Documents

[rainingsilver64 2]

We just received a notice for my husband's marriage green card interview, which is scheduled next month.  We thought we had extra certified copies of our marriage certificate from when we filed the AOS form, but can't find them anywhere.  Currently because of COVID, the city clerk office where we got married is closed and only accepting mail-in requests for vital records copies, which can take 10-14 weeks.  Obviously this time table doesn't match up...so we were wondering if we could just give them the original copy of our marriage certificate at the interview?  And then we'd get the certified copy from the city clerk later in the mail to keep.  Not really sure what our options are here otherwise.  We already waited over a year for this interview to be scheduled, so we want to avoid rescheduling if possible.

They're not going to keep your originals. They just want to check if it matches the copy you sent them.

At our interview, they see the certified copy and return it.

Other docs they asked whether they can keep it... we said no for grant deed and photos, and they just make copies on the spot.

 

You are set... no problem.... just always order extra marriage certs... you never know when you need it.....
