Have you sorted out a financial settlement? Are there jointly owned assets, pensions etc to divide. Any children to consider?
You really should get a financial order in place even if it is just to dismiss future claims.
That said, you can apply for the Decree Absolute on D36. You'll need an accompanying letter explaining the delay, and confirming that you and your ex have not lived as man and wife since the decree nisi and there are no (further) children born of the marriage.
