Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Upon marrying a US citizen, in order to file I-130 form, do we submit the actual �marriage certificate� or just marriage license endorsed by the solemnized person is enough? I heard it takes about 6-8 weeks after the marriage occurs to get the actual marriage certificate in CA, I am short of time.

You should file the certified marriage certificate, otherwise they will RFE you for it later on, which will delay your case. Don't forget to file the I-485 package, too.

If you need assistance, or have any further questions, please feel free to contact my office! Thank you.
