Didn't realize it wasn't just the doc, but rather also the date that was MIA! Nevermind on my other idea then!

Keep squeaking and keep your man squeaking too.

I saw that VSC slowed a bit - sucks! SOMEONE should still get faster service! Maybe it will speed up again at the time you mail yours off - that'd be awesome! Even 60 days is too long :)

1-22-07 DHS cashes the I-129F check

there's one kind of squeaking you'll need to do before, so you can do the other kind of squeaking after. teehee.

Only the divorce petitioner can apply for the decree absolute. They have to wait 6 weeks and one day from the date of the nisi before they can apply for the absolute.

Who is the petitioner of the divorce? Your fiance or his soon to be ex? And what is the date on the nisi?

This is why I'm glad my fiance didn't need an attorney!

If the petitioner does not apply for a decree absolute, then the respondent can apply 3 months after the date the petitioner could have applied for the decree absolute. This is 4½ months and 1 day after the decree nisi is granted and the cost is £30. The petitioner can prevent the respondent from doing this if the petitioner can show that by doing so would create financial difficulties, where a final financial order for ancillary relief has not been granted.

My divorce took about 2.5 years because of financial things being drawn out.

The courts almost always wait for financial matters to be settled before they will let either of you apply for the absolute, in case one of you dies, etc.

It was such a headache, but worth it in the end.

Good luck, and if you ever need someone to talk to, I am here for you.

Good info, LadyUK, thanks!

I never researched that since his went along so smoothly, but that might be good info for julezabelle to have.

Just a little update! We just found out that the court will be issuing the Decree Absolute today and we should have a copy of it tomorrow!!!! The I129f packet is ready to go, so we plan on giving it one final check before posting it on Saturday!

I can't believe the wait is FINALLY over!** Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy!!!!!!! I wish I wasn't at work so I could be dancing around like a fool!!!! :dance: That goofy little dance emote will have to suffice for the moment!

Anyway, just wanted to share my joy! :D

**Of course I realize we have a new wait to face, but I'm happy to do it!! I just want to be in the process!!!

That completely kicks #######!!! :dance:

And just think - you'll even beat the hideously high fee hike for I 129fs!!! :lol:

I am seriously happy beyond belief! And really happy to keep that extra money in my pocket! I am so relieved that we'll get that in the mail beofre Griff goes back to the UK, who, incidentally, is this Sunday. Sad about that, but happy we are now in the home stretch!

**Edited to correct typos due to shaking from excitement!!
