IFacts事实
A U.S. citizen petitioned for his wife as an immediate relative in March 2024. Each spouse had been married several times before. USCIS issued a request for evidence in June 2025 and then denied the petition in July 2025 for failure to establish the legal termination of all prior marriages. The firm filed a motion to reopen on Form I-290B with the divorce decrees and related certificates for each prior marriage and an amended petition.一名美国公民于2024年3月为其妻子提交直系亲属移民申请。夫妻双方此前均有多次婚姻。美国移民局于2025年6月发出补件通知，随后于2025年7月以未能证明所有前婚已依法解除为由拒绝申请。本所以I-290B表格提出重开动议，附上每段前婚的离婚判决及相关证明，并提交修订后的申请。

When a spousal petition is denied for failure to prove that prior marriages were dissolved, what must a motion to reopen contain to obtain approval without refiling?配偶移民申请因未证明前婚已解除而被拒时，重开动议须包含哪些内容，才能无需重新申请即获批准？
