No. A divorce NISI is a divorce decree that becomes absolute on the date mentioned in the decree which is typically 30 days to 90 days after the date the decree was issued.
The answer is no.
No time limit
"Nil nisi optimum" translates to "nothing but the best" in English.
There is no time limit for the Petitioner to apply to the Court for Decree Nisi once the Acknowledgement of Service has been received from the Respondent, however if the time lapse is excessive it may be necessary for the Petitioner to explain the reason for the delay. Once the Decree Nisi has been granted the Petitioner can apply for Decree Absolute six weeks later. If the Petitioner does not apply to have the Decree made absolute, once three months have elapsed from the earliest date on which the Petitioner could have applied for Decree Absolute, the Respondent may apply for Decree Absolute. Therefore the earliest that the Respondent can apply is three months and six weeks after the pronouncement of the Decree Nisi. If neither the Petitioner nor Respondent has applied for the Decree Absolute after twelve months then any application for Decree Absolute must be referred to a District Judge who must ensure that various information is provided."
Explain more of your question. Is this for divorce or what? The present Indian Divorce Amendment Act has removed the requirement for confirmation and therefore the decree nisi that was earlier is now redundant. The order of the District Judge is a final order; confirmation is not required. Only the decree can be appealed against before the next higher court.
The decree is recorded by the court soon after it is issued by the judge. However, some states have a cooling off period before it becomes absolute. That is called the nisi period. You need to check your particular jurisdiction since nisi periods vary from state to state.The decree is recorded by the court soon after it is issued by the judge.

A NISI decree means that court order it is attached to is not enforceable until the conditions cited are met. In cases of dissolution of marriage itusuallyindicates the period of timeuntil the final divorce decree would be granted.During the "waiting period" petitioners' can cancel the proceedings (jointly). Or the dissolution petition can be amended for valid purpose.Not all states recognize legal separation. In states that do not have specific statutes regarding such, it is assumed the coupleremain jointlyresponsibleregarding some marital matters such as financial obligations, matters concerning minor children, etc.Another PerspectiveNo. In states that use Judgment of Divorce NISI the nisi period serves the purpose of allowing the parties to change their mind about the divorce. In that case the parties can file a Motion to Dismiss the Judgment and they will remain married. Otherwise, at the end of the nisi period the divorce decree becomes absolute. Few couples change their mind but the most obvious effect is that you cannot marry until the nisi period has expired and the divorce decree becomes absolute. For example, the nisi period in Massachusetts is 90 days. In West Virginia there is no nisi period. See link for various state laws.
"nisi" means "except"
It depends on how serious the misspelling is. You can ask the court to issue an amended decree. A misspelling may cause problems in the future any time you are asked to provide a copy of your divorce decree.
