filing I129F

[Eric C 1]

Hi everyone! I'm trying to finish up my I129F form. I need help in choosing her marital status. Her previous marriage was already annulled. What option should i choose? Single or Divorce?

If she is the beneficiary then the form asks if she was previously married, that would be a yes. Make sure you submit the proof of annulment with your application.

 

If she is the petitioner then I hope someone more knowledgeable can reply because the form indeed only gives boxes to tick and annullment isn't an option My gut feeling would be that if you tick the "single" box it might seem like she is hiding something, so maybe choose "divorced" and attach the proof of annulment? But like I said, gut feeling only!

While a divorce terminates a legal marriage, an annulment means that the marriage never existed legally(as if it never happened). I would mark Single and submit proof of your annulment. a Divorce is a whole other process so I wouldn't mark divorced.

Single isn't quite true as she has been married.  Check the divorce box, even thought annulment isn't actually the same.   Must include the PSA copy of Finality with the I-129F

What you want is the PSA copy of Certificate of Finality, ask your fiancee about this.   Also you will want a PSA copy of the annotated Certificate of Marriage.   <<  This is necessary for later at NVC and the embassy.
