Hello VJ friends, I am a green card holder. I received my green card through my US citizen daughter from my first marriage. I lam looking to sponsor my spouse from Cambodia to the USA. This is my second marriage we got married since 2000 and have two kids together. However, I am not able to find the record of my divorce decree from my first marriage in 1990s. I lost it and the court also did not have any data over 30 years a go. I don't even remember the date of the first marriage or the date of divorce. I don't even remember my ex husband's birthday. I only can provide estimate. My question is how do we provide the proof of marriage termination to the USCIS or the US Embassy in Cambodia when we file i-130 and DS-260? Is there an alternative or explanation I can provide? Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Thank you everyone for your kind response. If I sponsor my mom first, how long does it take for my mom, as a green card holder, to sponsor my dad to be in the US?

Thank you for your response. However, I have photos and witnesses who joined their wedding in 1990. Besides marriage certificate, can I use affidavit from relatives and their wedding photos as evidence?

Hello forum members, Please kindly provide some advice to sponsor my stepdad to the USA. I just became a US citizen in November. My stepdad and mom got married before I turned 18 in August 1990 in Cambodia. I was born in January 1980. However, they registered their marriage until December 1998. The record on the marriage certificate says Marriage Certificate Dated 01/December/1998. My birth certificate with my mom's and stepdad's name was also dated on December 1998. Since it was a long time ago, we are not able to get any verification from the local authorities to confirm the marriage was in 1990. I also have two half siblings who were born in 1992 and 1994. I am not sure if the birth of my half siblings can be solid evidence for their marriage. In addition, they also have their wedding photos with me and other relatives. I'd lived together with my stepdad, mom and siblings in Cambodia almost my whole life before I moved to the states eight years ago. He is a very kind and gentle person who loves and treats me as his own daughter. I'd love to sponsor him and my mom together at the same time. I highly appreciate all of kind feedback and advice.
