Yes. Get your divorce decree from the court. They will put a seal on it and certify that it is a true copy of the original.

and the police report how can i get that?, Call the records department of the police department that made the arrest.

i'll get the passport but i'm a gonna need another one to cdj appt?

Get a passport that is good for as long as possible, I think there is a one year one and a five? year one, get the one that is good for five.

and the last question how do you travel to CDJ from LA(CA)? do you go to TJ and then take a flight to CDJ? if somebody knows pls help me to clear all these doubts.. thanks

Going to TJ and then flying to CDJ is probably safest bet. There are many low cost mexican carriers, not sure if they fly between those cities, you'll have to check. You could also fly from LA to El Paso, but there are risks. TSA has recently started checking if foreign passports contain visas. If you have a CA drivers license, you will be fine.

Weird thing - just to note -- when my husband recently applied for his passport - he was given the option of 3 or 6 years ...

I thought they were only 5 years as well - but his is clearly for 6 ...

Weird! My husband got his for 5 a few months ago.. maybe they changed it!

If your husband is applying for you, you shouldn't need HIS court records. The DS-230 only needs to be filled out for the immigrant. And if you're going through cdj, you don't need police clearances either.

[yoyislee]

Yes my husband is applying for me, he got a divorce too but you said the DS-230 it's only for me right? so all the documents it's about me not him...right???

[yoyislee]

i have 2 children so during the day i don't have time to login, so i read the replies late at night, i really appeciate all the help thanks again.... misspelled a word

[Rosa]

That's right. The DS-230 is about you, the immigrant.

[yoyislee]
