Filling out N400

[haljbr 4]

Hello all.

I will complete my 5 years GC on May 2019. But already preparing all the paper work.

Well. I was married in Brazil from 2008 to 2009 and have a boy that still lives in Brazil with his mother.
I also have a daughter that is 18 years old and lives here in US with me.
She came to US 5 months later than me (october 2014).

so does she must wait till oct 2019 to apply right?

 

I got married here in US in 2017 with a Brazilian woman that is out of status (tourist visa).

 

So as I said I start filling out the N400 and I have some questions:
* part 10 - 7C - Current spouse's Immigration Status:

There are 2 options: LPR and Other (explain)

 

* part 10 - 3 - How many times have you been married?
This must count my current marriage?

 

* part 10 - 8 - How many time your current spouse have been married?
This must count the current marriage?

 

* part 10 - 9B - My Prior spouse's immigration status when your marriage ended.
My previous spouse never asked for immigration.

 

I am not sure if I should have a lawyer to fill this form out.

This is not a complicated process and I really don't want to spend money in this.

We are saving the money to my wife's application once I get my citizenship.

 

Any suggestion will be great appreciated.

What is her status?  Have you filed AOS yet?  If so, then I would think she would either be an LPR by now, or still in AOS process.

I believe N/A for this one.

Other and then in the space you write Undocumented /B2 Out of Status although personally I would leave the explanation part blank. You never know whether that information could be given to ICE to come looking for her, nothing is impossible in this current climate.
