Rahm30 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have read on here that people have had to get a certificate verifying they are single. I understand what it is, I just need to know is it a requirement and do they ask for it in the interview? Link to comment
MikeandRong Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Assuming you are K1, your fiance will need it to turn in at her medical. No need get it early, as it will expire in 1 year. Get it after the P3 arrives. Link to comment

You can get it from the notary office. We have just finished putting our kitchen sink together but waiting for the P4 letter . Best wishes, Gino & Lulu Link to comment
spacebar Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) Hi just reading this post but I was curious about this.... Does that mean the spouse(petitioner should turn in one also) . I'm a bit confused what you guys mean........ I know my fiancee (beneficiary) made a declaration of unmarried notarized letter but I as the petitioner, should I make one also????????? I'm a bit worried now! I still have three or four weeks left! Can anyone post the answer?? I did go to my local office in CHicago and went to the records information center and retrieved an official government certificate stating that no record of marriage could be found which just basically means I've never been married. Any clue guys? Edited October 19, 2007 by spacebar (see edit history) Link to comment

Any clue guys?The USC (US Citizen) files a I-129F petition for a K1.. if you were ever previously divorced, those documents would of ben submitted... by design, the USC must be single. If it is approved, then USCIS is saying you meet the requirements.... Link to comment

Don Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have read on here that people have had to get a certificate verifying they are single. I understand what it is, I just need to know is it a requirement and do they ask for it in the interview? Only the beneficiary in china needs the translated certificate. Another trip to nortary and another letter from their work and probable a trip to the city or region government. Plus, the order is important, but not always the same. Link to comment
chilton747 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 It is the same requirement that China has if a foriegner wants to marry a Chinese in China. Link to comment
michaelt Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Would we be referring to the "Marriageability Certificate" and wasn't that included in P4 documents? Link to comment
Rahm30 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 My fiance is not a Chinese citizen he is there on a work visa, will he need to get this from Algeria? Thanks again. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi just reading this post but I was curious about this.... Does that mean the spouse(petitioner should turn in one also)?For K-1, only the Chinese Beneficiary needs the cert for the consular interview, the US citizen does not. You may be thinking of K-3, and CR-1/IR-1 cases, in those cases, the US Citizen needs to get a single cert from the consulate to satisfy the requirements of the Chinese authorities to marry in China.

dnoblett Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 My fiance is not a Chinese citizen he is there on a work visa, will he need to get this from Algeria? Thanks again.He can get from local Notary office in the city that he is living, he just swears to the representative that he is un-married, also will need a police cert from the public safety office, and have it translated at the Notary office.

dnoblett Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Would we be referring to the "Marriageability Certificate" and wasn't that included in P4 documents?There is a letter in the P4 that says will marry withing the 90 days of the K-1, it is not the Notary Un-Married Cert that is gotten at the same office as Birth Cert. P3 OF-169 spells this out. FAQ: http://candleforlove.com/FAQ/CFL_FAQ_P3_Final1.htm#Q2_2 http://candleforlove.com/FAQ/CFL_FAQ_P4_Final1.htm#Q1_22 Link to comment

Guest hi5pro Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Would we be referring to the "Marriageability Certificate" and wasn't that included in P4 documents?No MichaelYour sweetheart need to get a notarized, translated single certificate from her local Notary office. That's not the "intend to marry" letter in the P4 which she will sign in front of VO. We were confused also. It only took Lulu about 30 minutes to do that. Best wishes, Gino & Lulu Link to comment
