Hello, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong part of the forum but I just need a little bit of insight from anybody who may have experienced the following RFE or know of a way to ensure that I can resolve this properly.
I filed for divorce in the United Kingdom and it was granted back in March 2021. I received my Divorce Decree Absolute along with an email stating that the divorce has been finalised so I know this to be true. When sending the K1 visa application back in November of 2021 with my fiancée I included in the envelope a copy of my decree absolute to clearly show that I am divorced and free to remarry. The UK now sends these electronically to print off at home so am unsure as to whether or not this caused some confusion as to be fair the certificate does look rather lackluster.
We received an RFE on the 6th of March with the following:
"As evidence of the termination of the beneficiary's prior marriage, you submitted Decree absolute. The evidence is not sufficient because it is not a final divorce decree. - Submit proof of the legal termination of the marriage(s) of-"
To be blunt I am Autistic so this has really thrown me off because that is exactly what I sent them? 😅 I am going to get it notorised tomorrow (the 15th) to be safe. I have also written a letter of statement explaining the divorce procedures and terminology here and printed off pages from gov.uk about divorce and highlighted sections where appropriate. Will this be sufficient? I just don't want to end up with a denial.
