Both of us immigrated to the USA from The Netherlands on August 29, 1983
The divorce got finalized on May 3, 1983 but Pieter's ex with whom he lived as brother and sister for 28 years, refused to sign any papers...
So we could NOT marry before we immigrated...
To: Master J.A. Boekelman in Venray, The Netherlands (Pieter's lawyer).
Notification of registration of judgment.
I hereby inform you that on 10 October 1983 the judgment of the District Court of Roermond for divorce was entered in the registers of civil status of that municipality in respect of P.J.C. Vedder: D.E.T. Jeurissen
Respectfully
The civil registrar of Duiven
So, now we could finally make arrangements for our marriage and also start applying for the green card as we had to put this on hold...
We flew back from Atlanta to Amsterdam on November 8, 1983 for our Civil Wedding in my hometown.
