abt divorce papers for filing k1

[noura 0]

Does anyone know, if ur loved one has to submit divorce papers in the filing for K1, does the divorce paper (and/or translation) have to be signed by the "Foreign Affairs Dept"? This is for filing thru Morocco. Any help would be most appreciated! Choukran buzzef!

Yes, divorce papers have to be filed with the I-129F.

Yes divorce papers need to be submitted. You only need to send a photocopy of the original. You will also need to submit a copy translated by someone competent and to certify that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I typed name , certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled name of document.

Signature

Date

Typed Name

Address

I knew that divorce papers for both of us had to be submitted - my question is: does the beneficiary (immigrating fiance') have to have his papers signed by Dept of Foreign Affairs?

I think my question has been answered in another forum, but any input is appreciated.

Many thanks, again....

(immigrating fiance') have to have his papers signed by Dept of Foreign Affairs?

The papers do not need to be signed by the Dept of Foreign Affairs. They do however need to be Court Documents.. not simply Nortarized authorization from Ministry.

This is where our problems lay. It is accepted from the USA for filing. Just make sure the Divorce decree is in translation this should be norarized in my opinion that it is true a translation.

However Please. check with the consulate you are going tru for your specifics of divorce.

Jan needs further documentation required not for USA but for interview in Mumbai. A close friend of his just was denied for visa using the same documents we have. that are acceptable for usa but India was being more difficult on the acceptance of his divorce decree. . So in short. this friend now needs to re-return to court.. refile.. and resubmit.

Best thing is to contact the consulate ask what is required for the interview as proof of his divorce. Is what you have acceptable to them.

I have found from USCIS that the are aware of many different documents from many different countries. Having it translated. and specifying that he is free to marry is main focus of what they are looking for.

Not all countries have "divorce decree" as we do here.. So if having the Foreign Affairs or simply a notary of the court document the translation.. should be sufficient

Best wishes

well noura i talked to said this morning, i'm sure they wouldn't care now about stamps and all that, he will have to have copies of translated divorce papers, then maybe get them stamped from moroccan authority for 2dh each copy, and then he will sure need the original copies for his interview later .but for paperworks now you need just copies of papers and proofs except forms should be original and signed .

good luck kaye .
