DS-230-- Divorce Decree (For Petitioner or Beneficiary)???

[Waiting-Guy 1]

Hi Board,

Is the Divorce Decree for DS-230 Package required from Petitioner or Beneficiary?

I'm the USC (The petitioner ), and I was married before.

My wife was never married before.

The DS-230 package is also known as the Immigrant Visa (IV) package. Anything in there is for the beneficiary. A photocopy of your divorce decree should have been included in the I-130 petition package.

when you sent the 1-130 with all the documents if you was divorced you should have sent the divorce degree only for the petitioner you will most likely get a RFE.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I (Petitioner) sent the copy of Divorce Decree with I -130 package.

I was wondering I need to do the same for DS-230 package.

Looks like I DO NOT need to send the Divorce Decree this time with DS-230 package.

Nope. I didn't send my husband's and we weren't asked for it at the interview.

I did not send my divorce decree, but my wife and her friends think I should. Will it delay our case if I send it or should I wait till I receive a check list or RFE?

Davidor, are you the Petitioner or beneficiary?

DS-230 is for the beneficiary. So, you should not send this since you must have already sent a certified copy with your I-130 to USCIS.
