I am a US citizen by birth and would like to apply for a K-1 visa for my fiancee. Unfortunately I lost my divorce certificate several years ago and I haven''t been able to obtain a certified copy to submit with the K-1 application.

I haven''t been able to obtain a certified copy of my divorce certificate from my divorce lawyer, so a close friend of mine who also practices law in Germany contacted the divorce court on my behalf. Although the court clerk found a record of my ex-wife''s divorce certificate, which shows that she is divorced from me, he said that there is no correlating record that shows that I am divorced from her (!?!)
