They do not really understand annulment certificates. They are pretty rare so as far as the ECO is concerned you are not divorced because you have not submitted divorce papers..... Ask for a review by the ECM and enclose a letter pointing to the annulment paperwork and if possible any leaflets from the court system that explain the annulment process.

thanks mate for your comment
i did include with my letter to the ECM
a letter from the court explaining the annullment
a letter from solicitor explaining the annullment
a new certficate with a even bigger court stamp with judge signature

hope they read them and overturn their decision , if not i am positive i will win in the court of appeal , it s just the waiting which is really devastrating specially for my wife who sank into depression because of an ECO lack of training:(
