Spouse's Russian Divorce Certificate only states "cert issued to ex name"?

[GreyGergei 0]

Hello, 

I am the petitioner (currently live in USA) and the beneficiary is my husband (currently lives in Russia).

 

We are preparing to submit for i-130 and realized his certificate of divorce from his ex looks normal EXCEPT at the very bottom it says " This Certificate is issued to (name of ex wife here)". -see below image, this is an upload of our translated copy of the original document-

 

 

 

 

My husband says this was the official original document issued to him and his ex (from an office in Yakutsk, Russia). I'm just not sure why it only says it was issued to her only.

 

Does anyone think this will be a problem? Or should we just try submitting anyway? Thank you.

The certificate shows both names of the divorced couple.  I would think that is fine.

That's a translation of an official original document indeed, but issued for his ex specifically.

His original document should hold his name on it. Both originals are valid though.

He should bring the original document for his interview (his or his ex).
