Hi guys I am new here but I have a question. My soon to be fiancé who is Jamaican and I met 10 years ago in Jamaica but broke up for 4 years and recently reunited Aug 2017. During our breakup he had a daughter this year and I got married and divorced 2016. Marriage was short lived. Can we be honest and state all of this? Will they ask? Can I use pictures from when we first met 10 years ago? Included with new ones. I haven't filed yet maybe next year before I do.

Yes. You have to be honest about your story and yes you can use the pictures from before and your new pictures.

The "how we met" can literally be a few sentences.  You do not have to go into all that detail on the petition.  Now if they ask you for more details then of course, by all means be honest.  It is likely that they may ask at interview since you have a marriage and he has a child in the interm.  Simply state "Met in 2007.  Rekindled relationship in XX XX XXXX. Visited in person XX XX XXXX"

Don't forget to have copies of your divorce decree (and any your fiance may have) on hand for the interview + application. If the county building / court can give you a couple copies, that will save you from having to make a copy of the 30+ pages yourself.
