[MancaroniCheese]

Anyone else stuck in the queue at EMDC?

I can’t work out which of those timescales relate to nisi dates - anyone got a clue?

TIA

The firat one - divorce petitions. It's the petition that leads ro the issue of a nisi if the judge is satisfied that the conditions for a divorce have been met.

Do you have the email address for East Midlands to find out their work status?

Yes @Helpdesk3 I have e-mailed them and got the auto response that I pasted in my OP - I just don't understand which of those relates to the nisi bit IYSWIM

This is the one regarding approved nisi:
We are currently processing approved / refused directions for trial application considered on 24.4.2019

Can you share the email address you used to get update?
Also, What date is that update as of?

Thank you @Helpdesk3 the e-mail address I used was
[email protected]

I sent a blank e-mail to it on Friday and that was the auto reply that came back

Can I ask when you submitted your application for decree nisi.
I'm also waiting for mine. I submitted mine on 6th March. Not sure how much longer I have to wait 🤔

It seems like it is taking forever

Sent off my application for decree nisi on 10/12/18; on 3/4/19 I got an email to say that it had been accepted and got my certificate for a decree nisi and that it would be heard in court this week.

That's took lot longer than expected....any clue on why the 5 month delay?

I think they are just woefully understaffed. I tried calling them once and was 143rd in the queue

Can you share the number of east midlands?
I'd like to find out about my nisi application

Good luck - here you go 0300 303 0642

The delay on the phone line is unbelievable....
Is anyone waiting for their consent order to come back from East Midlands?
If you have recently received your consent order back, how long did it take?

Thanks!

Bumping

Anyone?

Spoon. My Consent order went off to east Mids and was received by them on 16/05/19. I’m desperate to get it stamped off. It looks like they’re working on Consent orders received on 02/05. When I’d you send yours off?

18/3! I will have to try ringing again.... when I have an hour to spare. Thank you for replying - I hope you get yours back soon x

Oh blimey! Is it with the judge yet do you know?

I don’t know, but I think it must be. I have emailed but just got an automatic reply - which says they’re processing emails from 3/3!!! I must ring really.

Hi spoon. Did you call them at all?

Sent mine 26/04, Judge saw it 14/05 but still not had anything back.

Seapoint that’s a quick turnaround!! I think once it’s with the judge it’s then another 6-8 weeks to hear anything. Also then you hero hope and pray it’s all ok so you don’t have to wait for stuff to be sent back etc!

Mine may be different as we filed the financial order the day before our FDR in court. Just as frustrated here as everybody else waiting and waiting and waiting!

Hi sunny, just rang. It was sent to the judge on 8/4. They can’t chase until 2 calendar months have passed therefore said I should ring again on Monday and they’ll find out what’s happening/ask court to contact me. It’s really good to know they’ve actually received it (!) and that something is happening.... really slow though ☹️

Sorry, 7/4 not 8/4
