Divorce Decree + K1 Interview Packet

[Dodi 69]

I have been divorced, but he's never been married. I front loaded copies of my divorce decree in the I-129F packet as required. I don't have an original, I only have a copy, and my attorney wants to meet on Sunday to finalize the packet to send off on Monday so I don't really have time to drive an hour to get the copy.

Will a copy of mine work at the interview? Or will he need the original, since it's MY decree and doesn't really pertain to HIM (the embassy info site said that he'd need originals of all documents pertaining to him, and since the USCIS has already determined that we're free to marry, I was hoping that would be sufficient).

Will copies work?

I don't know so much about the embassy for the UK, but the embassy in Cairo needed my "original" divorce decree. I had to get it from the state office before his interview...

The copy you have, is it certified?

[Dodi 69]

No, it's just a photocopy.

Copy is acceptable. I presented a copy of my divorced decree

Just to be on the safe side I took a long lunch and drove down to get a certified copy. Problem solved. Thank you all for your input, I just don't want there to be ANY possible reason for us to be denied due to the paperwork.

I was going through my co-sponsor's I-134 (my mother) and she signed 2 originals for me, but she signed them in black. As lightly as she presses on the page you couldn't see an indention from her signature, so it looked like a copy, even holding it up to the light! I figured, if I thought it was a copy, the CO might think the same thing, so I asked her to sign 2 more in blue, and I'm picking them up from her on Saturday before I see my attorney on Sunday to give her the packet.

I've now got all of his forms filled out and tagged, all of my documentation sorted and tabbed, and everything indexed to make it easy to find. The only thing I need to do is some more scattered samplings of phone logs and we're ready to send it! It's been a BUSY week, but thankfully I've got a boss who is laid back about me using the commercial printer and copier!!
