Total marriages are wrong with N400 online filing

[trucphong 24]

Hi all,

I am trying to file N400 using online tool and got a roadblock. My current husband divorced his previous marriage to marry me.  When I reviewed application before submitting, it said my husband got married once which is incorrect so I paused my application until I know how to fix it.

On paper form, the question 8, part 10 I can type 2 easily but online tool does not have this question. It asked my husband prior marriage info date of marriage and divorced which I filled it. 

 

I might misunderstand the question 8 part 10 which might only ask total  prior marriages without including current marriages which is me?  

Question8 part 10: How many times has your current spouse been married (including annulled marriages, marriages to other people, and marriages to same person)? If your current spouse has been married before, provide the following information about your current spouse’s prior spouse.

 

Can someone educate me on question 8 part 10 whether it needs to be 1 or 2? If it is 2 then how can I fix by using online tool? I have not submitted the application yet. 

Thanks.

You're his second marriage? Answer is 2. 

 

You may wanna review earlier input. It may be that you did not include his previous marriage. If you did, then N400 probably doesn't want to include you as you're automatically ignored. 

 

There's some weird situations with N400 online application sometimes eg based on some answers you give, it won't ask certain questions. Then on your final snapshot, you'll see those questions and you're left scratching your head.

I am his second marriage and I did fill out the first marriage that he divorced with date etc. I was thinking to add myself into it but it wont allow as it will ask date of marriage and end date of marriage. I will check all question again but this is weird to me.

I have seen so many of these cases whereby the total marriages are wrong (myself included!) that I am thinking it might be a glitch in the system. 

Two options: either you proceed online and clarify at the interview (I did that, but that's because I didn't realize this mistake until the day prior to the interview) or you file by paper.

I am planning to do online and clarify at interview as I hate to print out a list of evidences for 3 years marriage. Any issue came up when you clarified at interview?

 

Thanks.

Zero issues. And that was not the only information I had to correct.

I was actually thinking it is like the other forms, where though there's no end date for a situation, you can use the date you send the application as the end date because the system won't allow to submit without an input. 

 

That being the case, I'd suggest put the date you're submitting as your end date for your current marriage. That will give the count as 2. 

 

Additionally, you're filing based on a marriage. So, they know you're still married. 

 

Or do what @Rocio0010 said.

@Boiler any input?

I would not prefer to put fake end date on my current marriage to prevent further misleading information.

It is not fake. 

 

Have you filled immigration forms before? Because if you did, you'd know what I'm talking about.
