I am in the process of filing a petition for a alien fiance. I have had a previous marriage that ended in an annulment due to non consummation. The annulment was granted in May 2013. Now that I am in the process of filing for a K1 visa, could anyone please advice whether I should list my previous relationship under the "Prior spouse" section? As far as I understand, an annulment nullifies and essentially erases a marriage legally, as if it had never taken place to begin with. Is it possible to not declare the annuled marriage? My fiance does know about my past annulment, however her family does not, hence I personally wanted to keep this under wraps, especially since an annulment by definition nullifies the marriage agreement and voids it in the first place. I do have all documents, the marriage license, and the official annulment decree, I just personally don't want to declare it if I don't have to.

The question is "Was this other marriage to someone from another country?' And did you apply for a visa?"

If so, this will show up on USCIS site and defintely needs to be declared

and all marriages, I bleieve, need to be declared, even those ending in annulment USCIS will eventually know every bit of your past and present life

She was from the US, and the marriage took place in Dallas. The annulment was filed and processed in Chicago where she was a resident. No application for a visa took place in the process. USCIS might want it declared, but I guess from a legal standpoint a marriage that was declared as nullified and invalid from the start, in theory strictly from a legal definition perspective, that individual retrospectively was never my spouse. Looking forward to other opinions.
