RFE Legible Copy Divorce Decree

[a&y 1]

Hello,

We just received our RFE letter and it is really puzzling as they are asking for a legible copy of the Divorce Decree. My fiancé sent a certified copy of the full Divorce Decree he got directly from the courthouse so we are not sure what they are looking for. They may think the magistrate's signature looks like a doodle but what can we do? My fiancé is going to the courthouse and see if he can get a certified signature for the magistrate as additional evidence.

Very frustrating as it really seems so pernickety, especially against all the documents we provided for the rest of the petition that were all certified/notarized etc… when possible.

Has anyone had a similar RFE case?

Also do you know if they actually review all the docs for the petition and then give an RFE for all missing docs/info or can they come back later with another RFE for something else? Just want to manage my stress and expectations!

Thank you

Anne

Was the photocopy of the decree a high quality copy?

Yes but actually the judge's signature on the original seems a bit hidden under the seal. The clerk at the courthouse has just issued a new certified copy dated as of today and has put another stamp next to the judge's signature to certify it so hopefully it should be enough. Let's cross fingers!

And it could also be that they merely lost the original. Happens.
