John,
A bit late now, but couldn't you have waited till you got the Absolute? It's only 6 weeks between Nisi and Absolute, plus maybe another week before you get your hands on the paper. And if the Embassy say they "may accept evidence that legal proceedings have started", that also means that they may not... as they didn't... It's a risk not worth taking, considering the (I presume) short time till you get the Absolute.
So what are you intending to do now? Have you appealed? Or will you be submitting a fresh application?
Ivor and Mel
