Hi,

I'm preparing for petition for my birth father. Here is my situation:

1. My parents got married before I was born.

2. My birth parents divorced when I was 12 years old.

3. My birth father re-married when I was 14 and is still married to my step-mother.

4. My birth mother is a permanent resident of USA already.

I went to check the documents requirement for filing petition for my birth father. It says:

father lives outside the United States,
  • Form I-130
  • A copy of your birth certificate showing your name and the names of both parents
  • A copy of your Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship or U.S. passport if you were not born in the United States
  • A copy of your parents’ civil marriage certificate

I have a question regarding a copy of my parents' civil marriage certificate. Since they divorced already, is their marriage certificate still needed? Does it need to be certified and translated? Is their divorce paperwork needed as well?

Thank you.
