3 divorces and the I-129F

[BettyAndMe 0]

I have 3 divorces. The I-129F form (Question 9) has room for only 2. How do I handle this? Do I use a supplement like for Question 18 (How we met)? If so, is there a specific item to enter on Question 9 to indicate the supplement?

As a related question, the first two marriages were very brief and very long ago (one ended in '79 the other in '82). The third marriage was for 20 years and is probably more reflective of my commitment to marriage. Would you guys advise putting some kind of statement to this effect in the above supplement?

I'm new here but I did look through the other Forums and FAQs and did not see this question answered.

Thanks for your help

I would just put "See attached supplement" and then list all marriages on the supplement

I do not think they are concerned about the added information. They will be looking for three divorce decrees however.

Thanks fwaguy,

That was my thought too. Then I got to reading all the horror stories about REF's for minor technical issues and I got concerned there.

Presume your divorces were from USC's and that you have never before filed an 129F for a previous spouse?

That is correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I should have mentioned it in my original post. I have the certified decrees. There are no other unusual or complicating issues. I just didn't know how to indicate this situation on the I-129F.

I expect to file the petition in the next few days.

For the I-129F, they are only looking that you have submitted the requirements for the fiancee visa petition. Anything beyond that is irrelavent at this point.

how interesting just looked to see what we did (same 3 divorces) and the form has changed there used to be three lines not two

Dont worry about the implications of this scenario at no stage during K1 or AOS did anyone ever ask any questions regarding previous marriages (and none were for 20yrs) just make sure you submit the complete certified divorce documents appertaining to each divorce.

Good Luck on your journey

You're catching on quick.

I only mentioned this to remind you and other readers of the IMBRA implications and the corresponding questions on the I-129F.
