Proof of Divorce?

[Davin and Rachel 0]

After laying all the approximate dates down on a calender, along with the babys due date... we've decided that going the route of a K2 visa is the safest route for us to go...

This leaves us getting married in canada... ok, cool.. except...

Having been married once before (in the US), I have to:

a) get a canadian lawyer to validate my divorce paperwork

B) send it to.. I believe nova scotia (sp?) for them to ok it

c) wait for them to send it back approved, then can continue applying for a marriage license

Has anyone else had to do this? if so.. approximately how long did this process take?

K2 visa is for the child of a K1 holder. K1 is for fiance and you have to get married in the US. If you are getting married in Canada you can't use a K1 or K2.

You might want to read the guides at the top. It will explain the options for visas and the steps you need to take.

when my husband and I had originally planned to get married in Ontario we had to look into the same thing regarding his previous divorces.

First thing, your Canadian fiancee will have to go to the licensing office in her town to get the forms to send in with the foreign divorce certificate. You'll have to get a notarized copy of your divorce decree to send in with the forms. Depending on the town, she could either drop it off herself, and it may take only a few days to issue the license application ok, or it may take a few weeks. I believe in Ontario they said processing times were up to as much as 90 days. Nova Scotia probably won't take that long. Tho I don't know if in Nova Scotia if both parties need to be present when applying for the license. Most likely you do.

We didn't end up getting married in Canada tho, so that's where my knowledge ends.
