New member - starting the painful wait!

[Auds 223]

Hello members

Its great to see so much information on here. I spent about 10 hours with no breaks understanding the inside outs and got my lists together a month ago. Now I don't have the greatest short term memory and can't seem to remember anything - even my notes are not making sense to me

I have tried to search answers but not necessarily go the right/sure answers.

We are applying for me and my 2 children. My husband is USC - we were married in the US about four months ago. I am outside the US now.

1. Is any previous divorces the only documents we require certified copies for? Plain copies of rest okay? Do the divorce documents have to be court certified even if issued in the US? Any idea if we can both send uncertified copies? I think skipped this earlier and now so hoping for us to send out the package on Monday.

On USCIS website I don't see mention of certified copies.

If it is so - I will just send the "original" as that too was a print out and court certified. Will get a new one for my records in the meanwhile. As for USC where does he get his divorce certified from? My children's application also need out previous marriage divorce records right Do we need several court certified divorce papers then?!

2. We married in the US - does this document need to be certified or normal copy will do?

3. I had sent by courier a signed form to husband and a couple of blank forms signed too incase I made a mistake. Looks like did make a mistake. Is it okay if G325A for me is handwritten?

Thank you so much for all your help

Welcome to VJ.

All you need to send in are photocopies. So make copy of your marriage certificate and divorce decrees that's it. You will need all originals submitted at USCIS and NVC for your interview.

Yes handwritten is okay long as they can read it. No issue.

Come on over to the interview thread. Many like you waiting for June scheduling which should be starting sometime next week. No need to call NVC until scheduling is going on.

a copy of original or a copy of a certified copy. Just a photocopy is all that's asked for.

On the G1145, we need one signed by USC for each of us right - me and kids?

Edited to add - Found it! It is one for each of us

Finally full set ready. Husband will print on his end and I think we are good to submit. Looking forward to start updating our visa journey.

Thank you VisaJourney.

from an muslim country be prepared to send originals / even if USCIS passes the application to NVC

NVC may require the originals

other countries get by with just copies but all i sent had to be originals

incha allah you will have success
