Petitioner's Divorce Papers in AOS?

[honeyblonde 0]

I have the AOS guide from here printed out, and it lists as item #9 a copy of my divorce papers from my previous marriage. I don't see anything on the I-485 instructions about that. Is the guide on here old, or am I missing something? They already had to look at those for the K-1 approval and I don't want to send anything that might cause confusion, but then again I don't want to not send something they need.

Thanks for your help!

We didnt send in Rogers(USC) divorce papers with my AOS.

Send in a copy.... we did... or they will just send you a RFE asking for them...

Good luck

This is the first marriage for both of us, so we didn't have to deal with any divorce documents. However, we used an immigration lawyer and he gave us a list of things we needed to submit to him. Divorce papers were on the list.

I agree with Kezzie, you should submit them just in case... I could be wrong, though

Here it is (# 3):

Send them in, we did after getting an RFE for the complete divorce papers on I-129F - not taking any chances on AOS!

DEFINITELY send in your divorce documents. this will certainly warrant an RFE if they are forgotten.

if you did forget them ... no worries, just wait for the RFE and send them in!

best of luck to you!

Thanks everybody. I will send them, but I still don't see where it says it on the I485 for AOS for K-1 visas. Like you all said though, it's better to send than to get an RFE.

You will need them, but not with the 485. It is the I-130 that requires the divorce documents.

For the record, I didn't include any divorce documents with the AOS I-485 petitions because I had submitted them with the I-129F. I did take the originals and copies to the interview, though, but didn't need them.

You don't have to send them in if you already did it once with the I129F. It does ask for them on your NOA for the actual AOS interview. Good luck

honeyblonde,

My wife did not submit our divorce certificates with her I-485 application - you are correct, the form instructions do not ask for them.

But, if you are concerned about the possibility of an RFE, include them.

gimygirl,

"DEFINITELY"? "certainly"?

How so?
