In case of previous marriages they often ask for a certified copy of the divorce decree(s).

We don't have any previous marriages

CDJ requires originals of the birth certificates for both petitioner and beneficiary, so make sure you include that. Everything else looks good.

I didn't see that in the CDJ pdf.  That's why my fiance didn't send me his original.  He didn't even send an original for the original petition.

It never says it has to be original. 

[afortunada 182]

Hmmm. When we had our interview back in February, they asked him for the original copy of my birth certificate, but it's very possible things have changed. It looks like the PDF is different now, and it actually just says that you must include: Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States. (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or legal permanent resident card). I don't see any mention of the birth certificate anymore.

 

You're right, it doesn't say original birth certificate anywhere now, so you probably don't have to worry. But they did ask my husband for mine, so just sharing our experience! I'm sure it will be fine.
