I-129F Ques. 11

[JaynBetania247 0]

Hi,

Ive been searching the forums to see if there were any post related to my unique situation, but Ive not come across any. Right now I am working on gathering all the information and supporting documents to put together my k1 fiance visa package. Me and my fiance who lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia have been in a long distance relationship for the past 6months and spent 2 weeks together the beginning of February 2012, when I also met her family who were very loving, and I proposed. During the time we've spent communicating and developing a relationship, we've developed a strong bond, have alot in common and have fallen deeply in love for one another so we want to get married.

My question is for the I-129f Question 11. When I was in the military back in 2005 I got married to a woman who was staying in the US on a temporary visa. I sponsored her to apply for citizenship. When she started the process of filing for a green card, I was not able to get involved in detail because I was on active duty and she was not yet able to join me at my post. I did not understand much about the process. Our relationship went downhill while she was in the process of filing, I withdrew from sponsoring and eventually we finalized a divorce in 2010.

I do not have any of the paperwork she used to file because she took all of it, I am not sure what form she used what process she went through. I am not sure of the exact date and place she filed, just general estimates, I only know she was in NY at the time while I was stationed in Fort Lewis, WA. With a general time around October or September of 2005. And to my shame I've tried to erase the past out of memory and have failed to remember her maiden name (last name).

Exactly what supplementary information will I need for this question. Will I have to contact the immigration office to get forms related to her filing to attach to the package? Will it affect my approval if I supply the minimal information that I have. I would like to turn in the package as thorough as possible the first time around. Advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Here's where some other members are going to post though and go into details hopefully. When you have been married before, you'll have to include the divorce papers signed by a judge. Her name is more than likely there along with other details. Otherwise you can go to the country clerk's office where you were married and get a copy of the marriage cert., however I'd wait and see what others advise you to do.

She would have filed for LPR status not citizenship. Enter her full name from the divorce decree, do the best you can on the dates, LPR status application withdrawn. If you know more, say more. If you don't, they'll fill in the blanks from their own records.

Since you're going to need a copy of your divorce decree anyway, that is a good place to start. Then you'll have her maiden name and you can at least fill in her name for #11. Then attach an additional sheet to the I-129F and explain in concise manner that you have no other information and why with regards to "A# and result" and "place and date of filing."

After you write her name in the space provided in #11, you should note e.g., '* see attachment,' so the adjudicator will know to see the attached sheet.

Maybe someone will have a better idea.

Good luck!

Edit: I was composing this as pushbrk posted.

Thank you everyone for the speedy and great advice, I truly appreciate it. I will follow all those recommendations and will be sure to give a follow up after filing.

Also to follow through with the questions, yes I have the divorce papers so I will do as recommended. But her maiden name is not on the divorce papers.

Her maiden name will be on the marriage license and you can request a copy of that from the state/county where you were married.

Good news, I was looking through my files like a madman to see if I could find anything related and found a folder, with a packet of copies of the paper she used to file with the marriage certificate, form G-325A, I-765, I-485, I-130, and 213-A. So I will send copies of everything related with the application.

I am soo appreciative to everyone on this site. All the information has bee of great help

You would be better off just providing the information asked for in the space provided. Those documents will contain what you need.
