  1. By the way, in the end we were approved, but after this while process took so long, and after the whole world changed around us, we never went forward with the rest of the process because we were not sure if it would be a good time to move to the US in the midst of the pandemic. So we will probably apply eventually but use another route, the marriage visa instead of K1. The idea of moving to the states and my fiance not being able to work for a long time before getting a work permit scared us a bit considering the economic conditions at the time. We applied in January 2020 before the pandemic spread and after things changed so much we just decided to wait and see. with K1, once you are approved the clock starts ticking you have a limited time to move to the states before it expires etc.
  2. So I am not sure but I can tell you what happened in our case: Because I mentioned the Pareja de Hecho as evidence of our relationship, USCIS sent and RFE and asked us to explain this marriage and provide evidence that it was dissolved and that I am free to marry. I thought this was strange because all of the information I saw on their website said that this was not recognized as marriage. So in response to the RFE, based on feedback from this thread, I decided to present evidence from the Catalan law which essentially indicates the differences between Pareja de Hecho and actual marriage and also indicated how easily it can be dissolved and the obligations after dissolution etc. Essentially I wrote a statement that said I was never married and that under catalan law, those that are in a pareja de hecho are free to marry and it automatically dissolves the pareja, according to law. I then waited for a response and was sent an approval of our application. So in the end this was successful. If I were you I would probably just not provide any indication that he ever had a civil union. It is not a marriage in Spain and is not recognized as a marriage by the USA, but just mentioning it could get you into a complicated situation of having to explain that and hoping your agent agrees. It could end up delaying your application or perhaps even causing your application to be rejected. I hope this helps
