Kamusta kayo!

 

My case file has been shipped from NVC to US Embassy in Manila. So I am filling out the online form DS-160, K-1 Visa, for my fiancee in the Philippines and have a few questions...

Under Personel 1 it reads "NOTE: Data on this page must match the information as it is written in your passport." On the same page, under "Marital Status" do I chose her current status as being "Single" (she was annuled)? When I chose "Married" as she was at the time she got her passport, another page comes up later asking me who is she currently married to? which is a loaded question to be asking because now she is married to noone! When I chose "Single" I am able to enter in her fiancee's (me) info and her previous spouse's info. I think I should put "Single" here as "Marital Status" even though at the top of the page it says "NOTE: Data on this page must match the information as it is written in your passport." So what should I do here put "Single" or "Married"?

 

Thanks in advance!

She can't be married to anyone to be eligible for a k1.

YMMV

Yes of course. Yes but what if she got her passport while she was married and under the same page with that "NOTE: Data on this page must match the information as it is written in your passport." I am not so sure Marital Status is even on her passport; I think this question is on the wrong page with that note but I didn't write the form, I just know if something is not right then it is wrong and will cause delays, etc. If there is no other answers I'm just going to go with putting her Marital Status as Single on that page. According to this form I'm wrong either way but I think I am more wrong puting in there what her status was when she got her passport as that leads to the "Name of current spouse" question later, if that makes sense.

The info you need to make sure is accurate and matches the passport is her NAME, passport number and dates. 

 

For marital status (section) the DS-160 does not state that info must match the passport.    Being you are K-1 married will never fly with the DS-160 .. obviously you must choose single 

 

"Fill in your full name (first and last) in English. Enter all names fully and correctly, exactly as they appear in your passport. Include middle names, if applicable."

 

FYI .. there is NOT a National ID number

 The marital status on DS160 is at the time of filling ds160. The data to match is mainly for full name, date of birth like that. No need to overthink, that page also asks for marriage date and place, do you think those are mentioned in a passport?

 

First look at your fiance’s passport’s biographic page if you are still confused. In general marital status isn’t printed on passport’s biographic page.
