Should I amend marriage certificate during USCIS stage? [merged threads]

Well I don’t have the amended certificate yet. I was talking to them today and it can be done within a month it seems. At that point, the certificate will have the original page, then a second page with amendment on it. That is the full legal document at that point. So if I do it, I can only use that from then on. Which is why I’m debating doing it as I’m not sure if any of the US agencies will even notice or care. 
 

I do, however, have a letter from the county of Utah stating that the marriage was done and is legal. At this point I’m not sure whether to leave it alone or actually do it.

You sent an erroneous document. You should send the correct document.  That’s what I would do.  
 

I don’t understand your reluctance 

 

I am out.

They may or may not care.  What's the actual problem with the original certificate?  Details please.

 

On the marriage certificate it has a section where it goes something like “[spouse 1 name] residing [city, county, country]”. In that section, the information for ME is correct (I was in the US at the time). The information for HER, is incorrect as it lists her also at MY location, when she was in her home country at the time of the marriage and never lived in the US. 
 

this may seem like a repost, so I guess it was merged, but the updated information is that I had the form signed and notarized while in Thailand, and have it with me now that I’m back in america. I talked to the Utah county courts office and They sent me a digital letter stating the marriage was done and is valid when I explained the situation to them. I can get the amendment done, however it’s not likely to be done before the NVC stage and I’ll just have it for the interview. The document they give is also going to be basically two marriage certificates in one document showing the change, so it Will definitely be noticeable and perhaps pointed out. 
 

long story short: not sure if it will be an issue or not. I’m one trip to the post office of making it happen but there’s no going back once it’s sent.

Get it done.  I haven't a clue why you think it won't be done for NVC but get it done anyway.

Processing time for it MOST LIKELY won’t be done before NVC. I can delay filing NVC by a few weeks to submit with it.
