I-130 - does my divorce decree need to be a certified copy?

[lyndelld]

I am filling out an I-130 and was wondering if I need a certified copy of my divorce decree? The directions say copy - not certified, but I wanted to make sure.

If you are divorced, then attach a copy of the decree. USCIS has a tendency to confuse people, provide more than they require and avoid a delaying the process. If you are divorced, then provide evidence that you are divorced...or it possible you will get a RFE...(request for evidence), that you are divorced. Copies to USCIS don't have to be certified...
