... in response to K1 visa question, posted by stefang on Sep 25, 2004No, you don’t need a letter stating that you were never married. The embassy where you process the visa application may or may not require her to submit further documentation showing that she was never married. They also may ask her to provide further evidence of a valid relationship, proof of meeting, or originals for any document copies submitted with your petition.
On the Forms G-325A, make sure that you enter “NONE” where it asks for “Husband or Wife” and also enter “NONE” where it asks for “Former Husbands or Wives”.
On the Form I-129F, check the box for “Single” in parts A.6. & B.6. In parts A.10. & B.10., enter “NONE” for names of prior husband/wives.
Your document list looks O.K. You do not have to submit her birth certificate, but it wouldn’t hurt to include a photocopy. She will probably be asked for a certified original of her birth cert when she goes in for an interview. Also, you can include a signed statement attesting to the fact that document copies submitted are exact photocopies of unaltered originals.
For your birth cert, make sure it’s a photocopy of a certified copy from an official government agency, not the original from the hospital.
Will you process the visa in Portugal?
