PETITION FOR PARENT OF A US CITIZEN

[Jaya Cruz 3]

Hi! I am just wondering if anyone here could help. My brother (US Citizen) is petitioning our mom in the Philippines. To cut the chase, she already have her interview date scheduled. The case is, my mom is divorced by my dad here in the US but in the Philippine law, she is still married. However, when my brother filed for petition, her marital status is DIVORCED, even on her DS-260. I am just wondering if she still needs to bring her marriage certificate or just the marriage termination documents? 

 

Thank you so much in advance!

If she was divorced in the USA then the US Embassy considers her DIVORCED for immigration purposes.

She should bring BOTH documents. Having more is always better but only hand over at interview what they ask for.

 

Good luck.

Thank you so much! However, we have only sent the marriage termination documents to the NVC and I think since it was completed then maybe they are good with it. So I was just curious.
