Marriage and Divorce Certificates

Do I need marriage and divorce certificates for my father's sponsorship?

A client approached us with a common concern: “My father is outside the United States and has been married and divorced several times. I am in the process of filing a petition for him, but I am not sure if I need marriage and divorce certificates from his past relationships. Do I need to?”

What do you need to know?

It’s great that you’re helping your father with his petition. However, as an adult child, you do not need to provide marriage or divorce certificates from your father’s past relationships for most applications. It’s important to review the specific instructions on the application you’re completing, as they may vary.
