ds260 - do I need another certified copy of death cert from previous marriage?

[gwenstar 66]

I am the USC Petitioner and we are waiting for the NOA2. Since my current husband (beneficiary) is Canadian, we will be filing the ds260 electronically. I scanned the certified copy of the death certificate of my late husband from my previous marriage so it can be submitted electronically. I sent the certified hard copy in with the I-130 to USCIS.

My question is, will my current husband (beneficiary) need to bring a certified copy with him, in addition to the one sent to USCIS, when he goes in for his interview? From what I understand the certified hard copy should be forwarded along with the rest of the I-130 packet.

Given the time and cost to order another death certificate, I want to get it ordered now if it is absolutely necessary.

Thanks for any advice!

For the IV package, no documents from the petitioner are needed in IR-1/CR-1 cases. The IV package is all about the beneficiary.

The copy you sent with the I-130 petition will be sent along to NVC and then onwards to the consulate.

Thank you!!! That is what I figured. Then you know how the mind begins to question everything... especially after spending too many hours reading through VJ posts
