Haha...yes..and to make it even easier..it has to be the same format as her offical birth certificate/translation which you must have submitted with the I-129F. Get the divorce ceritifcate from the same place. Actually, we didn't have to submit birth certificate for I-129F application (at least not to USCIS), only fill out forms, copy of her passport, and some other stuff, although I understand she may need birth certificate later at time of interview.

I am a US citizen resident in the USA. In September, I applied to USCIS for a Fiancee Visa (form I129F). My fiancee is a Chinese citizen living in Beijing. We have submitted all the documents, but they have now notified me that the document we presented as proof of her divorce from her former husband is not acceptable. This was the document issued to her at the time she registered her divorce. The letter states that "A Divorce Nisi is not considered to be evidence of a final divorce." (I don't know what a "Divorce Nisi" is.) The letter says that we must submit a final divorce decree and that this must be processed through the Chinese notary office and issued in the form of a "notarial certificate." The letter further states that the we must provide a translation into English and that "the translator must certify that the translation is accurate and that he or she is competent to translate." Does anyone have experience with this who can explain exactly what document she needs, and the form the translator’s certification of competency must take? Many thanks.
