    Question How to Get Proof of a Foreign Divorce

    Hi,
    I need some guidance how to do.
    I came to USA as refugee 20 years ago from Muslim country.
    After 2 years my wife /lets call her wife #1/ sent divorce papers to me.
    I got married second time in USA. When wife #2 divorced me. She destroyed ALL papers of first marriage.
    1 year ago I got married third time. When I sent papers to get immigration visa for my wife.
    Immigration office asked for all previous divorce certificates.I cannot go to my ex country to get papers.
    I know its can be done if I ask a court in the U.S. to issue a declaratory judgment that it occurred (based on the fact of your second marriage and divorce, which presumed a prior, lawful divorce from wife # 1). And also my citizenship certificate shows "Divorced status".
    The question is how I can get "declaratory judgment paper" ? How to open that case in court?
    Please guide me. All help is appreciated.

    You don't have to travel to the other country to get the paperwork from your first divorce. You can make arrangements for someone in that country (perhaps an attorney) to get that paperwork for you. That would likely be the wisest thing to do.

    Even in even Afganistan there is going to be a method to obtain court paperwork. It may be difficult and time consuming but there is going to be a method.
