Applicants who have been previously married must obtain evidence of the termination of EACH prior marriage. Evidence must be in the form of original documents issued by a competent authority, or certified copies bearing the appropriate seal or stamp of the issuing authority.

Acceptable evidence is a:

FINAL Divorce Decree;

Hello VJ'ers,

The "original document" that I have is a copy. WIll it be sufficient, or should I get them to certify it? There is a stamp on it...but is a copy of the decree and stamp. The stamp is just showing that it was filed by the circuit clerk.

This will be for my fiancee's interview in Rio de Janeiro.

Thanks

I asked almost the very same question today. Did they need the original? I don't think I have time to get mine to my fiancee in Rio de Janeiro. It has me worried. To make it worse, I think I sent the original for my petition to the USCIS because I cannot find it anywhere so I have to find a way to take a day off of work to get it and hope to get it to him in time for his interview.

Hey Bamellis, Sorry to not have replied sooner. I don't get on VJ much anymore. I wrote that post back in May, and am now married to my fiancee, which happened in July... You just want to be sure that your fiance has all of the pages of the divorce decree. To be sure, I went to the court house that the divorce was documented, and got them to make a copy, then they stamped it with their certification/seal, from the county clerks office. It only cost $5 and gave me a piece of mind.

Good luck, and don't sweat it, I had lots of worries, but ours was approved!! :)
