DV Lottery

[jackal1986 0]

I am married to a USC, but we are in the process of getting filing for divorce due to irreconcilable differences. However, I want to apply for the lottery, and the last section on page 1 requires me to state my marital status (married). This means that on page 2, I have to fill in his info, which I have no problem doing, but I don't understand why this is necessary if he is already a citizen and won't be needing a greencard...Please help me understand?

This was on the DV requirements website I was looking at, I havent found anything as to being married to an american / divorcing one tho. Hope this helps somewhat?

" To enter in to the DV2011 lottery, married people must include their spouse and all the eligible children in the entry form even if they are not intended to travel with the applicant. Failure to include the eligible dependants will result in the rejection of the selection. Entries must include the name, date and place of birth of the applicant's spouse and all natural children, as well as all legally-adopted and stepchildren, who are unmarried and under the age of 21 (except children who are already U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents), even if you are no longer legally married to the child's parent, and even if the spouse or child does not currently reside with you and/or will not immigrate with you. Note that married children and children 21 years or older will not qualify for the diversity visa. Failure to list all children will result in your disqualification for the visa."
