We have my husband's (USC) "Final Order Of Divorce". (11 pages)

It does not have a raised seal, but has judge's signature and a "A COPY- TESTE" stamp with clerk's signature.

Will it suffice? or does he have to get a different document with a seal?

Ugh, we want to mail our petition on Tuesday.. Please advise!

When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, no one can ever tear them apart.

Thanks!

So it doesn't have to be an actual "divorce decree" document and no seal is not an issue?

I read a few threads here on vj that people got RFE's for their divorce documents.. Freaking out here, hah! :)

That is the divorce decree, that's what you get when the divorce is finalized in court. I obtained another divorce decree for a different divorce after the fact, which looks like a certificate with raised seal. I sent copies of both, one for one divorce, one for the other. I guess time will tell if they accept the actual court papers one.

Ok... I meant that it doesn't have to actually say "divorce decree" on a document. And that "Final order of divorce", issued by court, signed and stamped is a valid proof of divorce.

Hope USCIS will not have issues with that :)

There is also something called "Divorce Certificate", issued by Vital Records Office.... Not sure if we should get one of those as well?

Thanks and good luck! :)

Just remember to send in photocopies not originals. You can get a divorce certificate if you want or just send in a copy of the final order of divorce (same as a divorce decree.) My husband doesn't have one with a raised seal because he has a certified copy.

My understanding is that as long as it says Final order of divorce or divorce decree, and is signed/dated by the judge and clerk, which mine is, and it sounds like yours is, it should be good to go. Make sure you send in copies of all 11 pages too.
