I have applied to the court for a copy of a divorce decree (over 30 years ago) it could not be found! so then applied to the Central registry office in London and had no reply in over 3 weeks!

If it still cannot be found can I add the documents to prove i have tried to find the papers? would proof of trying to find it be enough evidence for the application for the I-129/K-1 visa?

In the UK you cannot re-marry without showing your previous divorce decree!

If they can't find their own papers, can you get someone of legal authority to sign a paper confirming you are single and available to marry, and that the original divorce documentation is not available?

I'm having this problem right now. Went merrily down to the courthouse and got divorce certificate from 10 years ago but not the one from 20 years ago! Am trying the national registry tomorrow, but I'm wondering if this is due to changing to electronic stuff, the child support record was there but not the divorce. I paid for the original event so I know it happened!

As a side note Oh my goodness Canada has the most expensive documents- 60 dollars for birth certificate, and 40 each for divorce....
