Marriage Certificate Question

[moes998 2]

Hello Friends-

 

We received an RFE for our AOS from K1 visa.

 

The first item was regarding vaccines for the civil surgeon exam, which we understood why. We re-did the full exam to be safe.

 

 The second item was a copy of the marriage certificate. I’m not sure why they are asking for this because we provided as copy the first time. I think it might be because it was a black and white copy- so the seal may have been hard to see.

 

To be safe we went to the town clerk to get an official copy. I didn’t realize until I got home that this copy says “Certified Transcript of Marriage” as opposed to the original that says “certificate of marriage registration” 

 

They both contain the exact same information- and both have a seal and signature.

 

is anyone aware if this is acceptable?

Both a photocopy of the original or certified copy are acceptable. 

It's likely they lost it or couldn't fully see the seal/stamp.

I always recommend photocopying it darker.
