For a U.S. immigration application, what should we be mindful of when getting a marriage certificate notarized?



In marriage-related cases, there is a very important document, which is the Notarized Marriage Certificate.


If you were married in China, both parties would receive a marriage certificate at the time of marriage. If, later on, you need to submit documents to the consulate or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to prove the legality of the marriage, you need to provide a Notarized Marriage Certificate in both Chinese and English. For this, you need to bring your marriage certificate and go to the relevant notary office to process it.


Here, we want to remind everyone that a Chinese Notarized Marriage Certificate is only valid for six months. Therefore, be sure that when submitting the application, the Notarized Marriage Certificate is still valid. This will help prevent the immigration officer from questioning the validity of the marriage and issuing a request for evidence (RFE) notice.

在婚姻类相关案件中,有一个非常重要的材料,那就是结婚公证书。


如果您是在中国结婚,结婚时双方都会拿到结婚证。如果后续需要向领事馆或者美国移民局(USCIS)提交材料来证明婚姻的合法性,就需要提供中英文版的结婚公证书。为此,您需要携带结婚证,然后前往相关的公证处办理。


这里我们要提醒大家,中国的结婚公证书只有6个月的有效期。所以请确保在提交申请时,结婚公证书仍然在有效期内。这样可以避免移民官因为质疑婚姻的存续性而发出相关的补件通知。
