Decree Absolute

[*julez* 124]

Forenote: I've read the guides and searched the forums and have not found this specific question, so here goes:

We've been waiting ages for my fiance's Decree Absolute from the UK and it looks like we'll probably have it issued there by 7/20. Obviously, since the fee increases are taking place at the end of the month we'd like to get the I129F in ASAP. I know we need him to bring the original or certified copy with him to the interview at the London Embassy, and that it would be nice if we included it with the packet to VSC, and that photocopies are OK in the I129F packet, BUT do you think a FAX copy would be OK? Does anyone have any experience with whether this is acceptable or not? Or would a scanned then emailed copy from the solicitor be better?

The bottom line is, time is of the essence and we want to be in the K1 process ASAP!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Given that you don't send the original anyway so long as the fax is clear and readable and of course it has been stamped you will be fine. I would maybe cut the header and footer with the fax details off and then re-copy so that it looks like a standard photo copy.

Your biggest problem is finding a fax that prints absolutely legibly and I don't think that exists.

Thanks Dan! I think if his solicitor will scan and email it, we'll go that route. Seems like we'd get a cleaner, more legible copy.
