If either applicant in a spousal visa or adjustment of status application has been previously married, USCIS will not approve the petition without certified translation of the divorce decree.
Before USCIS approves an I-130 spousal petition or a K-1 fiancé visa, they require certified evidence that any prior marriages were legally dissolved. A foreign divorce decree must be translated before it can be submitted.
Some countries issue 'absolute decrees,' others issue court judgments, civil registry entries, or certificates of dissolution. Our legal translators understand civil law divorce terminology across jurisdictions — not just the language.
If divorce decrees contain property settlement agreements or custody provisions that need to be enforced in US courts, those sections require a legally precise translation. Our translators hold legal credentials, not just language fluency.
