Questions about marriage certificate Married in Mexico and the US(split)

[lgh0806 0]

I have a similar question... I will file my I-130 via direct consular filing in 2 weeks, and I also made the mistake of thinking that getting a US marriage license would be convenient even though I was already legally married in Mexico. I understand that the first marriage is the valid one and therefore our marriage date is the first (Mexican) date, but should I declare the other marriage on my form as a clarifying note?

Why would you when you know the second isn't valid

Well I want to be upfront and provide the most complete information as possible to avoid the risk that they find out the information later and get intense about it. I figure its best to provide more information than less, through that may not be true if the info is potentially confusing
