Canada, British Columbia Divorce Decree help

[ashley_ann 179]

I also have a separate question which I can’t seem to find a definitive answer on. 

 

I called my court registry here in BC Canada where where I had file my divorce and asked for a divorce certificate and divorce decree. The woman had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for a certified copy of the divorce decree and I even explained I needed it for the k1 visa as the beneficiary and still nothing. 

 

My question is for those in Canada and in bc how did you get a certified copy of the divorce decree? 

 

I will have the certificate and I have the divorce order sent to me notifying that the divorce was granted do you think this would be enough to avoid an RFE or should I go the route of the divorce decree?

 

thanks again.

You don't need a certified copy. You make a copy and bring your original. They take the copy and check the original.

Thanks I will definitely keep that in mind. My only problem is I am trying to attain a “large” certificate as requested on the website. 

 

My problem is I called my registry where I got divorced and they said there is no such thing as large or long certificates of divorce and I also called Vital Statistics and no luck there. 

 

The lady at the the registry said the best she could do is order a regular divorce certificate and put a red seal on it to help in cases of immigration. 

 

Any tips or info that can help me out with this?

I don't know what large certificate you're talking about. I just used the paper I got after the divorce was final with the judges signature and seal on it.

I have the divorce order so maybe that is what the USCIS is referring to.

I think that is it. The judge signed off on it and has the seal right?

Yes I have the form 52 divorce order signed and with a seal so I guess that is what I will use then. Sounds like the same thing you mentioned.
