You get a copy of the Judgment of Divorce Nisi approximately 30 days after the final hearing or trial. Wait for that to come in the mail and that should be sufficient evidence of the divorce.
Re: divorce /immigration
If the Immigration people want proof that you are fully and finally divorced, the only paper that will do is a Certificate of Judgment Absolute. This can only be issued after the nisi period is over.

Judgment of Divorce, and make sure that it is certified by the clerk's office.
Re: divorce /immigration
For purposes of the Immigration Service, the Divorce NISI will NOT be sufficient proof of termination of the marriage. They will require the final judgment of divorce certificate, which you can only obtain after the NISI period is over.
