Well, we got the dreaded RFE. I thought I did a pretty good job filing everything. Sigh. 

 

I am the petitioner. My fiance is in Colombia. She had an express divorce - no court - recorded at a notary (no assets to divide; 1 kid - over 18). I sent everything we had - does anyone else have any experience with an express divorce in Colombia, and what paperwork we should have?

 

From what I have, the back of the birth certificate shows a hand written note that the divorce took place. And there is a notary stamp over the handwriting.

I also have the marriage certificate, which on the 2nd page has (in handwriting) some note about the divorce. Again, it has a notary stamp over it.

Both document were translated, with the "certified affidavit" from the translator, and then notarized again.

 

I'm going to ask my fiance to go back to the notary and see if there is anything else. Any tips?
