Noting Separation and Divorce Dates?

[swalker 137]

Hi there!

I met my fiancee online and we met/fell in love while I was technically still married. I was only married a short time and my then-husband had moved out and to another town. I haven't seen him since and our divorce was filed and granted 2 years later (2009). There was no drama, we just went on with our separate lives.

Do you think I should make a note of this anywhere in my K1 petition, where I will be adding my divorce paperwork? I don't want it to look like I was cheating or doing anything questionable, like seeing 2 people at the same time. I also am a bit concerned because I was married to a man and now am engaged to another woman. I think it would be weird and maybe out of place to mention why there are 2 years of overlap...but maybe no one would notice or care. What do you think? If I added an explanation, where would I put it? Maybe this is something better posed for the interview portion later?

Thanks!

No need. they only care that you're free to marry. if asked about it feel free to tell the story.

Yea they don't care what you do long as you meet the requirements at the time of petitioning.

also to add, they'd likely only care if it seemed as if you were in the relationship sheerly for immigration benefits
