Spanish Divorce Documents

[Susan&Diego 0]

Hey everyone!

Let us start by introducing ourselves... We're Diego and Susan and after having dated 7 years ago, when I moved to Colombia to attend college and my later moving back to the US, we found each other again and are now embarking on our own K1 odyssey. It seems so very long and a lot of work, but at the end it's soooo worth it! Any advice or words of support are, of course, very welcome.

It's fantastic to find so many others who, like us, can relate to all that comes with filing a K1, K3, etc. So, yeah, We have a question that I hope someone here can answer or suggest a solution.

I have my divorce documents from a previous marriage, but they're in Spanish. How should I include these in the initial package to USCIS: Spanish original, just notarized translation, or both?

Thanks to all,

Susan

Hi There and good luck with your journey, I would include both, better to do that than get a rfe which can delay it.
