Question about Part 8 section G In N-400

[Raub21 0]

My current husband is married before once. In section G of part 8, thy are asking how many times has your current spouse been married. I put 1. Then, they asked in G 1- for prior spouse 's family name. Do they mean my husband ex wife name and all the information. It s kind of confusing.

Thank you in advance for your help and clarificaton

I believe you need to fill in 2 if your spouse has been married once before, since your current marriage counts for the question, "How many times has your current spouse been married"?

On page 4 of the instructions for the N-400: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/N-400ins.pdf, it says that you need to fill out information about your current spouse's prior marriages in Section G, so yes, your husband's ex-wife's information needs to be filled in.

If your spouse was married before to someone else, and is currently married to you, then he must have been married at least twice (once to his ex-wife, and once to you). So the answer to the question "How many times has your current spouse been married" must be 2, not 1.

Then, it goes on to ask If your spouse has ever been married before, give the following information about your spouse's prior marriage: ... 1. Prior spouse's family name ...

This is where you'd put the name of your husband's ex-wife. In other words, the prior spouse of your spouse.

They also want a copy of his divorce papers, so in case he forgot her name, he can get it off of there. I had to do that.

Swore we sent all this information in before to get my good wife's green card in the AOS, but must have been mistaken. Certainly the USCIS wouldn't be asking for the same information again, unless they are too lazy to look it up. But how did my wife get her green card?

In analyzing the other questions in Section 8, gathered they wanted to make sure I wasn't in the business of importing wives. Ha, my ex was a natural born USC, but surprised they didn't want proof of that, maybe next year.
