hi guys...

this is going to be a repeat, sort of...

suppose you were issued a green card 20 years ago but you lied, sort of, about your marital status. in an effort to speed up your application and avoid complications, you said you were single (but was really married). years later, you become a US citizen. now, you decide that you want to bring your spouse and family here, you want to petition/apply for K3/K4.

what kinds of issues will you be facing? is the USCIS going to care about this "white lie" that was told some 20 years ago? should you even worry about this when applying for K3/K4?

this is the type of situation my friend is in. i want to help my friend.

has anyone of you had this situation and how did you get around it or what did the USCIS do?

thank you very much guys!

Your friend would need to supply a certified marriage certificate to send along with the K-3 Visa application. If the marriage is 20 years old, I think there might be some question by USCIS about why the application is that many years later.

I think a good immigration attorney might be in order here.

Good luck to your friend and his family.
