Were either of you ever married before ?

[bolaji246 2]

No we have never married before me and my wife

You forgot to write none where it asks for former spouse. Therefore they don't know if you have ever been married previously or not. The instructions clearly state to write none if you do not have a former spouse.

I'm not sure whether you need to fill out the form again including the word 'none' as mentioned above, or what the process is. Hopefully someone here knows, but you'll need to make them aware that neither of you were previously married.

If no one here knows the answer then consider calling the USCIS number and asking what the process is to clarify this omission.

[belinda63 3,053]

Calling USCIS won't do a bit of good. Fill out the form again (both of you) and clearly write none where it asks for former spouse. Write a cover letter explaining neither of you have ever been married prior to this marriage.

Attention to detail is extremely important. Both you and your wife need to edit your G325a forms to indicate NONE when asked about any former spouse. Also, there is a place to indicate both NONE under former spouse and single as the married status on the I-130.

However, I'm not sure they'll accept new forms, so yes, have the petitioner write a short letter indicating neither the petitioner or beneficiary were previously married. Sign the letter. As you move forward, pay more attention to the details. Answer all questions on all forms.

I guess you can resubmit the affidavit of bachelorhood and spinster, and the document from the registry, affirming that both of you were single before the marriage at the registry.

That would not address the request for evidence. They failed to indicate on the forms, whether they were ever previously married. It's a separate issue from being eligible to marry each other.
