[labeautysecrets 0]

hi,

i am a german spouse, married to us citizen and living in the states, we like to file for AOS, but they ask for my devorce degree. In Germany we have on our marriage certificates also a place where a devorce can get written on if so....thats what i have...now my question do i need still an extra devorce degree or is that proof enough for the uscis....and for example i forget to put a paper in do they send it back to me and charge me the fee again or do i get a note to correct that....

thank you for help....

Your marriage certificate with annotation divorce pronounced is okay for USCIS.

Hi there,

do I understand it right, you are now married to a US Citizen but your first marriage was to a German in Germany?

I'm from Germany myself, but haven't been married there so I am not sure if they have something like a "Scheidungsurkunde" ?

I recently received a BirthCertificate (Geburtsurkunde)

from my home town and due to the EU it was a form in multiple languages including English. So if there is an official document from your

Standesamt you can use this with your application (if it is a multilanguage form) or you would have to get a certified translator to translate it for you.

In either way, you need to have proof of your first marriage ended by a judgment "Urteil".

If you had been married to a US Citizen before but never filed for AOS you need copies of your judgment entered by the courts here at the family law division.

Good luck, Viel Glueck, on your Visajourney, feel free to contact me with any AOS questions and I see if I can help
