K1 Divorce Decree (Original or Copy?)

[TripleG 3]

Hello VJers'

I am leaving for the RP on Tuesday or maybe Thursday and was going to hand deliver all the supporting documents for my fiances interview on June 10th. Of course I am reading and rereading every little thing, and noticed something I hadn't noticed before concerning my divorce decree. I was divorced 8 years ago. The embassy website says official documents. What does official document mean?

l. PROOF OF TERMINATION OF A PRIOR MARRIAGE. If applicable, official documents (divorce decree, annulment decree or death certificate, etc.) that prove all prior marriages contracted by you and the petitioner have been legally terminated prior to the filing of the petition must be submitted

I only have a copy of the official divorce decree. I think I only sent a copy (not original) when I filed the petition. I think the court has the original? Anyways my question is this: Is a copy of the final divorce decree good enough for the interview?

Thanks for any advice

What I sent was a photocopy only and I didn't get any prob in that. I have the original though in case they look for it

I suggest you bring the original just to be safe.Good luck.

it would be best to have one that has a raised seal affixed. can get it at the courthouse where the divorce was done. WE WERE ASKED FOR IT...

We only needed copy at USEM but at CFO Trisha was asked to present one with a raised stamp.

That's spelled out in the instructions. Copies were fine for you I129F. For the interview, they WANT a certified copy with the raised seal. Don't worry, you can pay for and obain another certified copy at any time if you want to have one for your own records. Take the one/s you have with you.
