Hey, So my case is this.

I got married on paper in India and got marriage certificate. I was a PR at that time. I was planning to sponsor her but things didn't work out and we had to seperate.
Now I have a fiance and I will be sponsoring her after marriage.
My question is about a document mentioned in checklist which goes
  • For divorces obtained in this country, please submit a complete divorce petition, a judgement and a Final divorce decree.
So I wanted to know if this document is to be submitted by me as a Sponsor or by my future wife(in this case, no document will be required for her as she was never married.)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for the confirmation.
Does it have to be a divorce decree from the court? The reason why I ask is, under Hindu Marriage Act in India, my caste falls in a category wherein a notary from a lawyer stating that the divorce has happened (aka divorce deed) is enough for me to get remarried to someone else. Would this be considered a valid proof? My ex spouse signed the notary document without any hesitation, but now she is acting up to sign for d divorce decree.
