You will need a certified copy of your divorce decree for the interview. Obtain it from the clerk of courts / registrar's office.

Your exwife does not have the original, she has a original certified copy - same as you will get when you go to the courthouse and request a certified copy (25 cents at our courthouse). You only need one original certified copy (not to be confused with the original which remains at the courthouse "forever").

I submitted the certified copy with the "gold seal" in our I-129F petition and had copies to include in the interview package. There was no problem. If you send copies in the I-129F then take the "original certified copy" to the interview. Either way is fine.

I got the final from the court with the court's stamp. I sent the original to Claudeth for the interview but also included several copies.

I had the one the court gave me, it did not even have any type of stamp on it and there was never any discussion about it. But you can go to the clerks office at the courthouse and get one made, and they will stamp it, just go where the divorce decree was granted and they will have a record of it.
