Divorce Decree/Judgment of Divorce

What is the difference? Which one did I have to sent with my I-129F? I only have "Judgment of Divorce".

It may be the same thing, depending on where you are. Judgement, decree, and certificate of divorce are used interchangeably I think. If it is a file stamped copy signed by a judge, I think you are good. You might call the court that issued it and ask if there is any other document.

That's the one. Make sure it is an official copy which shows the judges signature and the clerk's "entry" stamp and not just a copy of the submitted judgement. Attorneys typically write the judgements, judges sign them. Often an attorney will give the client a copy of the judgement he submitted. Get a copy from the clerk of the court which has the signatures and entry stamps

Got it. I guess NY/NJ issue "Final Judgment of Divorce" rather then "Divorce Decree".

Good luck to you, in any case.

Thanks. Seems like Vermont is issuing NOA2 much quicker this months. I see a lot of approvals from April filers.

Kind of goes in cycles, with files periodically moving from one center to the other, and backlogs building up then winding down as the pace picks up for a certain type of visa.
