Divorce decree certified copy

[Regi 11]

Dear all,

 

Can anyone guide me in the following question:

After the interview we were told to bring the original of divorce decree and its certified copy.

I am wondering about certified copy. Should it be done separately now or its usually given with the original copy?

 

Thank you in advance!!!

I mean,  my fiancee got divorced in the US. Does the judge give the certified copy with the original one ?

Or should it be done now separately at notary office?

Get a certified copy from the courthouse clerks office

It all depends on the rules and regulations of the individual states and local governments. The documents you require may be available from state departments of vital statistics/records, or clerks of the county court.

Its requested to provide the original of final decree about divorce judgement and its certified copy. 

Can original be obtained or they provide only with certified copy and original of judgement of divorce can be kept only at their office?

You will have to call the appropriate state department or county court clerk office and find out what they provide. As I previously stated, "It all depends on the rules and regulations of the individual states and local governments." Additionally, I have no clue, since you have not provided which state/municipality you were married. A simple Google search should be able to give you enough information as to which direction you need to go.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.

A simple Google search using the search terms: "divorce decrees in Virginia," yielded this result among other choices: http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/thomas-jefferson/vital-records/ .

 

Google can also be your friend.

 

Good luck on your immigration journey.
