Anyone else filed for neutralization after divorce?

[AMZJ 61]

I got divorced last year and I'm applying for my US citizenship. On the paper it asks for a spouses birth certificate. I can ask but I'm not sure if he'll let me borrow that. I have all the other required paperwork and divorce decree. I've been in the US for almost 8 years now and my daughter is a US citizen from birth. Has anyone else filed after divorce and did they require the birth certificate of your ex spouse?

Thanks.

Where in the instructions are you seeing that you must submit your ex spouses birth certificate. 
 
If you were applying based on marriage to a USC, it is required. But as you are not applying under this rule ( you do not meet the requirements to do so) I cannot see where the ex spouses birth certificate is even mentioned .

As Lil bear noted there is no such requirement, when filing under the 5-year rule you don't need any birth certificate even for a current spouse. You just need all documents pertaining to your divorce, that's all.

Naturalisation?

 

This sounds more like a vasectomy

 

Anyway theoretically they don't look at the marriage but in practice they can and sometimes do, so I would prepare on that basis. Plenty of people on here have gone through the process in this situation, also do not understand the Birth Certificate issue.

🤣 Ops auto correct. 

Thanks for clarification. I don't think I need it then. But I'm taking all the documents I have.

Naturalisation sounds like becoming a UK or Australian citizen?

 

Anyways, as long as OP knows their ex spouse date of birth, divorce date and walk through timeline briefly, it's OK. Nodody expects ex spouse's original documents at the interview.

Thanks! I read the letter quickly when I was making sure all my papers were together and I didn't know if I needed it or not since we are divorced and I'm applying based on my time here, not on the marriage.

I am sure a lot of people have thought about neutralizing each other after divorce 😀

 

Joke aside I do not believe you need his birth certificate to apply. You are jot applying under a 3 yr rule. You only need you marriage certificate and divorce decree.
