Hi, since we recently got our NOA2, I was checking the K1/K3 packet 3 instructions and noticed they require both marriage and divorce certificates???

I (the beneficiary) am divorced and have my divorce certificate but now I´m concerned about the marriage certificate specially since I´m not even living in my natal country (were I got married) so it will be kind of difficult to get...

Can someone please clarify this for me?

Great answer and great link to a logical reason why a marriage certificate is not required, when documenting divorced status.

congrats on your noa2 im not sure but i think that packet three might not only serve for k-1 visa..i would belive as long that you have certified copys of your divorce you should be ok..so far i we havent recieved noa2 but i was also married twice before this k-1 process and i sent them certified copies from court house and while i was there i got my previous marriage lic...so i have them just in case they ask..in your case i know your not there to get them..i hope you can browse v.j to get more info but i would think that maybe you can contact were you got married and maybe order them on line and maybe have them sent via fed ex or something i didnt see your time line but you said you got noa2 recently so you might have some time to put it together..but like i said certified copies im pretty sure it will do good luck in your journey :thumbs:

I hope so... But then it wouldn´t say "married persons or previously married"

This is what it says:

MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE: All married persons or previously married people are required to present a certified copy of their marriage certificate. Certificates of marriage from the U.S. MUST be original certified long-form copies from the Office of Vital Records from the state where the marriage took place. No other marriage certificate will be accepted as proof of marriage in the U.S

congrats on your noa2 im not sure but i think that packet three might not only serve for k-1 visa..i would belive as long that you have certified copys of your divorce you should be ok..so far i we havent recieved noa2 but i was also married twice before this k-1 process and i sent them certified copies from court house and while i was there i got my previous marriage lic...so i have them just in case they ask..in your case i know your not there to get them..i hope you can browse v.j to get more info but i would think that maybe you can contact were you got married and maybe order them on line and maybe have them sent via fed ex or something i didnt see your time line but you said you got noa2 recently so you might have some time to put it together..but like i said certified copies im pretty sure it will do good luck in your journey :thumbs:

Thanks.

The packet says K1/K3 visa but still I´m really concerned about this, I´ll try to get some more info about it.
