Previous Marriage

[FerNic 1]

Dear Members,

Looking at the documents required by the embassy (Argentina), they ask for a marriage entry.

Does anyone know if this is for K3? The document is for both K1/K3

It is confusing because it says "or previously married" but the next item on the list is "divorce decree." I do not understand why they would require a marriage entry if you are divorced and you have a divorce decree:

6. (___) MARRIAGE ENTRY issued by the Civil Registry. All married persons or previously married people are required to present a certified copy of their marriage entry. Certificates of marriage from the U.S. MUST be original certified long-form copies from the Office of Vital Records from the state where the marriage took place. No other marriage certificate will be accepted as proof of marriage in the U.S.

Does anyone who was married/divorced know if this is really required for the K1?

Thanks!

Both, a marriage entry for being previously married and a divorce decree for each previous marriage.

K3 are rarely approved anymore, you should either do a CR1 if married or a K1 fiance visa if not married.

Yes you need the marriage certificate as well as your divorce decree. This will show the date you got married and the date you got divorced.

This will be required for both you and your USA fiance (if either of you have been married before).

I do not know why they need the marriage certificates when you are providing the divorce decrees, but they are asking for both. So, just give them what they ask for.

Thank you so much.

Do I have to send my originals across to world to present them to the embassy or copies from my side (petitioner) are fine?
