I'm putting together my interview package, and the DS-156K shows a list of items needed to go in the package. One of the items it lists is marriage certificate. Do I need to include a marriage certificate for a marriage that I have a divorce decree for? Or is the divorce decree sufficient?

Thanks for any assistance!

NO, the divorce decree shows that you are able to marry for the K-1 visa. Prior marriage certificates are not needed.

If you have it and it makes you feel better, may as well have it with you just in case, right?

But the divorce decree is the important part.

Are you going to Vancouver? Annecdotal evidence suggests it may be requested (it actually is sometimes). Double check with other K-1ers using your same Consulate/Embassy.

Hi,

I note that you're from Canada. If your interview is at the Vancouver Consulate, you MUST have any prior marriage, AND divorce decrees. Apparently Montreal only requires the divorce decrees. Remember to bring all of them, if you've been married/divorced more than once.

The London Embassy checklist also asks for the marriage certificate (as well as decree absolute of divorce). So it seems that having it with you is a better-safe-than-sorry situation.
