Revocable Divorce from Egypt

If a person was given a divorce paper in Egypt many years ago (never planning or expecting to ever marry an American and to need paperwork that stated "Irrevocable Divorce") and they still have the old paperwork that says "Revocable Divorce" what do they do to satisfy USCIS that they are free to marry?  Obviously, according to Egyptian law, the divorce was final after 90 days when the couple did not get back together.  If the woman has long since been remarried to someone else and the man with the paperwork has been single ever since, what paperwork does one need to get in order to prove it?  Most people don't ever think about doing anything further than getting their revocable divorce decree because in Egypt, once they get that and do not get back together within the 90 day period, they are divorced and cannot get together without a completely new wedding and new contract.  They just assume they will spend their lives in Egypt or will just marry another Egyptian some day and that it will never matter.  This may not apply to my situation.  However, I have never seen a clear answer anywhere as to exactly what a person should do.  I have asked immigration attorneys and they have said to get affidavits outlining how the process of Islamic marriage works and explaining to USCIS how the divorce is final after the 90 day 'iddah period.  That made me wonder who, exactly would be writing that affidavit.  A lawyer?  Short of getting a time machine telling divorcee to go back to the court at the end of the ninety days to ask for that second piece of paper, what can one do?
