As it says in the heading.

I'm the citizen petitioner.

She's the foreign beneficiary.

 

I've been married before and submitted my divorce decree, all pages.

 

She's never been married before and yet they sent an RFE for her first marriage - final divorce decree.

 

In response to their RFE I submitted my first marriage certificate in addition to my divorce decree. I'm thinking... how could they be asking for a divorce decree for someone never divorced?

 

They rejected my marriage certificate and reiterated they want a "divorce decree, annulment, or death certificate for (spouse)" in a second RFE. 

 

What do they want? What is this nonsense?

Has she ever claimed to be married to gain entrance into the US before your marriage?  Did you or she mismark forms to indicate she has been married before?

There must be something they have that says she was married

Has she previously applied for a nonimmigrant visa, such as a tourist visa or student visa?
