Divorce certificate

[TucsonBill 0]

ooops .. it seems that I didnt actually reply anything in my last post and it seems that Im confusing everyone! Sorry bout that. What I meant was that I have a certified copy and I took it to a notary, who made a copy of the certified one and notarized the copy he made saying that it was an exact copy of the original document. Thats ok right?

I went to the Arizona court house to get a certified copy of my divorce decree and it was not sealed with anything 'gold' - it was a regular raised stamp seal that was hard to see on a photo-copy machine, but thats what I sent with my I-129F (copies). What I did was use a flat-bed document scanner and did the scan in high-resolution color mode, and the stamp was visable on the copies made that way. Also, the court officer also had a back colored stamp that he used on the back of the last page of the decree he used that had the date of the certifification on it. He did that right over the back of the raised stamp on the front of the last page where it was hard to see. Look at the reverse side of the raised, embossed stamp and see if maybe your court did the same thing.

At any rate, I think the only time you actually have to use the original is at the interview.

Tamzyn,

What a difference a full explanation makes. Yes, that's OK. Unnecessary, but OK.
