8 老师您好，

1）我们在中国结婚，交485时是 要 结婚证的公证还是结婚状态公证？还是两者都行
-Technically, either one is OK, but occasionally I have seen some immigration officers only accept 结婚状态公证. So, if possible, you had better do 结婚状态公证. Of course, if you only have 结婚证公证, it is also fine to submit it because most immigration officers will accept it,

2） 我做了些考古，有人说结婚证丢了，才做结婚状态公证，是否正确？
-Not true.

3）我们有结婚证，能否在美国直接翻译公证，这样可不可以？
-Yes. But if you ask your friend to do it for you, you need to follow the format which is accepted by USCIS, e.g. certification by the translator must be included. Read these links:

 4）为了避免不必要的RFE，最保险的方式是哪种啊？
