London K1 Divorce Proof

[ScarletWitch6x 62]

Hello there!

 

My fiance and I just got our NOA2 on 06/10 so we are working diligently to get everything prepared so that once interview time is here we are ready to go. My concern is the divorce proof for his (the UK fiance) divorce. 

 

I know that the UK provides very different documentation than they do here in the States when it comes to the final divorce decrees. I was able to get an additional certified copy of my own divorce decree for his interview, but I am slightly worried about them asking for something similar from him at the NVC and interview stage. He has said they can request a UK notary of the document or an apostille stamp but I know there is a cost involved and looking to minimize any expenses as we are obviously looking at an already costly immigration process. 

 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Old threads I saw were in regards to RFEs at the USCIS stage but we are past that now. He has an inquiry to the embassy as well, but was hoping for some VJ guidance in the interim.

 

Thanks all!

UK does not really do Notaries or Apostilles.

 

I assume he has the regular Court documents.

Hey there! Yes, he does. The divorce was done on the internet so he has the 'Final order' from the family court. They did not use a solicitor. 

 

I want to assume that this document we have suffices, as it was literally all he was sent from the family court. However, compared to my divorce decree there is nothing on the document to show that it is certified or original. It was sent to both him and his ex-wife upon the finalization of their divorce. It was accepted on the USCIS side so I want to believe it would be fine for the NVC/Embassy stage but it's immigration so I don't feel comfortable assuming anything.

I have no reason to assume he does not have the correct piece of paper but here is how you get a copy

Thank you!

 

He has the original document that the court sent him but it just makes me nervous because my US set of documents has a court seal and is signed and his looks like a normal letter. 

 

Appreciate the help!

 

Editing to add: I am on the phone with him now and he said he requested the copy through that link you provided so hopefully all good
