In recent years, I have noticed a significant increase in requests from US clients who were previously divorced in Colombia and are now looking to bring new partners to the U.S. However, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has implemented stringent requirements concerning proof of divorce, leading to complications for those who lack proper documentation.<\/p>\n<p>One common issue is that many clients do not possess copies of their Colombian divorce decrees or judgments. Often, these records were not automatically provided to US citizens at the time of the divorce, whether it occurred in a Colombian court or through a notary. Prior to 2021, most divorce documents were issued in paper form, and it was not uncommon for ex-wives to withhold copies from their former husbands, sometimes as an unwitting form of retribution.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself in this situation, please do not worry. I am here to assist you free of charge in determining what options are available to obtain the necessary documents for USCIS. With my expertise as a Colombian attorney, I know how to navigate the legal framework to access certified copies of divorce judgments or decrees that meet the requirements set forth by USCIS and the American embassy in Bogota.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential to understand that each case is unique. As a US citizen, you may have specific questions about the process, the required documentation, and what steps to take next. My goal is to alleviate the stress of this situation and to provide guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Please reach out to me for further information, and together, we can work towards a resolution. Whether your case can be resolved quickly or may take longer due to various factors, I assure you that everything can be addressed and rectified.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information:<\/p>\n<p>Esteban Rada<\/p>\n<p>Colombian Attorney<\/p>\n<p>www.lawyerscolombia.com<\/p>\n<p>Email: info@lawyerscolombia.com<\/p>\n<p>Telephone: 57-311-7693976<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esteban Rada Colombian Attorney www.lawyerscolombia.com Email: info@lawyerscolombia.com Telephone: 57-311-7693976 As the landscape of immigration and family reunification continues to evolve, many clients in the United States [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2232,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.6","language":"es","enabled_languages":["en","es"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"es":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2098"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2242,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2098\/revisions\/2242"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lawyerscolombia.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
