I am sending my forms in for the K-1 visa. While reading info here and on other sites there is a part that says I should include a copy of the divorce papers. Can I send my info in and take my chances that they will continue with the process without these papers? Has anyone had experience with this?

You need to prove that you are legally free to marry therefore a proof of divorce (I assume) is essential. Others may have more detailed advice regarding this.

You both have to be free to marry so you must send in copies of all divorce papers. USCIS will take your money under any circumstances but reject your petition or send you a request for the divorce papers which might add months to your wait. Take the time to do everything right now. Also the divorce papers need to sent in their original form and also translated into English I think. Someone else should know more about that.

The answer to your question can be found in the I-129F form instructions; Page 5 >

7. If Filing for Your Fiancé(e) (K-1), What Documents Do you Need to Prove That Your Fiancé(e) Is Eligible for

K-1 Classification and That You Both Can Legally Marry?

a. If either of you was married before, submit evidence that all prior marriages have been terminated. Evidence of

termination of prior marriages may include a divorce decree, or an annulment or a death certificate issued by a

competent civil authority.

Great i thought so. I hope it does not have t o be translated. I am guessing just a copy will work

Welcome to the forum.

Regarding translations, review page 2 of the Form I-129F instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Anything not in English needs to be translated into English. You'll need to submit a copy of the original final divorce papers and an English translation. We used www.rev.com and they were fast and reasonable.

Copies of certified divorce decrees for both the petitioner and the beneficiary are REQUIRED for the initial filing. You may pull an RFE or your entire petition could be denied.
