I obtained a divorce on February 19, 1973 in Santo Domingo, and had a search made with the Court Registry by another party who did not find a record of the divorce. Please tell me what options are available to obtain an affidavit or other document that from the Court. I have to get a copy of the divorce whatever it takes. My wife is applying for permanent residency in US, being married to a US citizen, but the INS officer insists on having a record of the divorce that took place over 30 years ago. Can anyone help me obtain the papers, or advice on how to do it?
