We are sending out our AOS package tomorrow and have been obsessing over whether or not I've included everything I needed to. Thanks to Saylin, whose info has been invaluable, I think we're good. So now I am obsessing over our IV package, though we haven't even had our DS-3032 accepted yet (sent it Monday). As I'm reviewing the necessary documents for the IV (over and over and OVER again), I keep coming back to the same question: should I include a certified copy of MY divorce decree, just to be on the safe side? I am the USC and was married once before I met my husband. He has never been married before. I'm just way overthinking things (as I tend to do), and am terrified that we are going to get an RFE for it. I'd love to have case closed by the beginning of March and would LOVE an April interview! Thanks in advance for the input! :thumbs:

My guess is it would cause confusion for a moment while they try to sort who is who on the divorce decree. Don't submit the original since they don't ask for one. Submit a good clear copy if you must. I would make it clear on your cover sheet that it is a divorce document for the USC.

I'm a dual US/Hungarian citizen (both by birth; Hungarian citizenship verification TBA), and my husband is a dual British/Irish citizen (by treaty) from Northern Ireland. We are atheists.

Thanks, you're not too far behind! I guess I just need to print and copy my AOS package tomorrow and mail it out tomorrow.

My husband just sent me translations of his bc and pcc, but not the originals or certifications... so I had to make that request :blink:

We are sending out our AOS package tomorrow and have been obsessing over whether or not I've included everything I needed to. Thanks to Saylin, whose info has been invaluable, I think we're good. So now I am obsessing over our IV package, though we haven't even had our DS-3032 accepted yet (sent it Monday). As I'm reviewing the necessary documents for the IV (over and over and OVER again), I keep coming back to the same question: should I include a certified copy of MY divorce decree, just to be on the safe side? I am the USC and was married once before I met my husband. He has never been married before. I'm just way overthinking things (as I tend to do), and am terrified that we are going to get an RFE for it. I'd love to have case closed by the beginning of March and would LOVE an April interview! Thanks in advance for the input! :thumbs:

They did not ask for mine. It only ask for the beneficiary's. I sent my husband a copy of mine to take to the interview, but no need to over complicate things by sending something un-needed.

Good ole Government. There's never delay on accepting money.

Yeah, but it's okay. I get the inefficiency of government. My dad worked for the feds and I worked for a the local gov't in NYC. I can't speak for the NVC, but I can tell you that I had to sign a edata confidentiality agreement from 1983, stating I would not remove any floppy discs from the premises. This was in 2010. So that about sums up the gov't in my opinion.

But they do have good pens.
