I could be wrong but I thought I read on this forum that guys were uploading their divorce decrees along with their wife's DS 260.

 

But I see no option for me to upload my divorce decrees to the NVC with my wife's DS 260....the only option is for here divorce decree and marriage certificate.

You don't upload the DS-260 because it's an online form.

 

They asked for mine after I submitted my documents.

You can submit additional documents below the ones they specifically ask for.

So are you saying you uploaded your divorce decrees even though they weren't specifically asked initially by NVC?

I uploaded it after they asked for it, but the page is still the same, just upload it in the section for additional docs and tag it as divorce decree

You must upload the certificate of first marriage and divorce decree, look in civil documents for additional documents for the option MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE (1st MARRIAGE-FINAL DIVORCE DECREE). or termination of marriage, you should not wait to be asked with that only lengthens the wait for dq

they didn't ask for my 1st marriage certificate, only the divorce decree.

just for clarity it was the petitioners divorce decree they asked for, and that marriage was in the states.

The 1st marriage certificate would only come in play if it was needed to track a name change.

I all ready upload my wife's marriage certificate from her former marriage and my wife (applicant's) divorce decree......what I'm not sure about is whether or not I (the petitioner) need to upload my past divorce decrees with my wife's (applicant's) DS 260

As noted above, you don't really attach anything to the DS-260.  Your options you choose on the DS-260 cause the system to suggest what documents it expects to see to support that DS-260.  Regardless of whether it suggests uploading your divorce decrees,  you should upload all past divorce decrees to proof you were single and eligible to marry your wife and thus able to sponsor you wife to join you in the USA.

It's pretty easy to upload my unsolicited divorce decrees along with the requested forms for my wife that support my wife's DS 260.

But if I'm going to start sending unsolicited documents to support my wife's ds 260....why not send documents to prove the marriage is bona fide....like the house we bought and the US passport of our child and photos showing us together. 

Do you think there is a draw back to sending all kinds of documents to prove our case? 

I mean I sent all that and more with the I - 130 application and it was approved in 6 weeks.
