Hi

You have to need to be a certified copy by court, please look at my file

I went to my county courthouse and paid for an official copy, and I'm pretty certain that is required; although, I can't say its required for sure. Normally in any legal proceeding you must submit official copies, since you can do anything with your own Xerox copies.

When I went to the courthouse, there was a certified copy available, and then what they called an "exemplified" copy. I was told that the exemplified copy is what is needed for immigration purposes. One difference between the two is that the exemplified copy has a gold sticker on it. The first time I ordered one from the court house, they accidently sent me the certified copy (I didn't know the difference when I received it in the mail), and I ended up getting an RFE and having the send in the exemplified one to USCIS later.

If you already sent in your packet with a certified copy, just go get the exemplified copy to send in with your RFE.

Best of luck!

Oops - BIG goof... I was thinking of the marriage certificate for the AOS, not the divorce decree for the visa...

Sorry for the confusion...
