Did your previous marriage take place in Pakistan and is it registered with NADRA? If not, then you do not need divorce certificate from Pakistan. US divorce certificate is all you need.

It took place in Pakistan but was never registered with nadra back then it was only Urdu nikah nama and English translation

I'm in this boat. I was married 2015 in Lahore to my Canadian ex-wife and it was registered in Nadra (I'm American, we were both there studying).

 

I was in America when we divorced in 2021, and she was in Canada (had divorce in Nevada, also her case was rescinded and she never came here).

 

When I went to Pakistan to marry my (current) wife, I had my divorce decree stamped from the Los Angeles embassy. The nikkah haan used my divorce decree as a basis to put my marital status as divorced in my new nikkah nama.

 

What would the situation for myself be? Do I need a divorce from Pakistan even though me and and my ex-wife were never in Pakistan when we got divorced? My Nadra certificate shows my marital status as divorced. Will the embassy care?

Same they used my divorce decree as proof and change my status on my nadra marriage certificate. I only have marriage certificate from nadra and wondering if I need anything else.

The Marriage System in Pakistan is different than Europe & US.


If you guys are married previously in pakistan and the marriage is registered no matter it is Urdu nikah nama only or nadra because all past urdu nikah namas were transferred to Nadra when this system was introduced.

 

The thing is that if you married in other than US, your marriage is registered in both country like US & Pakistan so in short you should apply for divorce in both country, the exception in Pakistan you are allowed to do second marriage (because our religion allows multiple marriages at same time) while you are not officially divorced in nadra system from previous marriage.

 

If yours interview are near I suggest you to start divorce process in your relevant Municipal Committee,The process takes 90 - 120 days to be completed, I know you have less days until your interview but at least your process is already started.

 

No need to Worry, At the time of your interview just explain your situation to CO if they specifically asked about it, otherwise Your US decree is enough to prove that you guys were divorced, Thanks

For “Step 1: Register Online and Select a Document Pick-up Location”

 

There is no option for CR1/CR2 when selecting the visa type on the ustraveldocs website. Has anyone else experienced this/have any advise?

 

@gr8life it's not in the first step, it's at the end, see attached screenshot:

I very much appreciate your insight! Point taken! Unfortunately, I'm  currently unable to go because of work, but maybe I can arrange something from here.

 

Out of curiosity, for @gulkhan and myself, does anyone know of anybody who was first married in Pakistan then divorced in the US and then remarried again in Pakistan who brought their wife to the States? Sorry, totally don't mean to hijack this thread but this situation could potentially prove detrimental

@VisaNoob

 

Thanks for pointing that out. However when I try to choose a visa category I don't see CR2 as an option. I see IR2 but no option for CR2.
