Hey guys, please I need advise on an existing issue disturbing me The story: After 2 previous US visa denials, the agent that helped me arrange my 3rd visa application indicated that I am married on my DS-160 form. NB: I’m not married at all, I’m a single lady He said that’s the best way to get the visa as the consular officer will see me as a “family woman” who won’t abscond but will return to her husband and kids The agent filled in made up names of my so called husband I went for the interview at Us embassy VI and I got my tourist visa (I was going for a conference) I traveled and spent 3 months in New York and came back. I met a loving and caring dude there and he said he loves me and wants to marry me and file green card for me. I’m currently in Nigeria, but my US bae has been asking me to come back over to the states so we can proceed with our marriage plans etc I have a feeling that the “married” the agent filled in my DS-160 will affect any future plans of my future US based husband to file for me. Please what can I do How do I divorce a husband that don’t even exist |

MelaninGemstone:Yes. It will affect you. You can't remarry until you are single again. You can wait till you need to renew your visa and put single. At your interview tell them you put married because someone advised you to do so. After that you can get your bf to file for your as wife when he comes to nigeria to marry you. Let him find what it takes to file immigrant visa for a wife. |

Well, that shouldn’t be an issue. People get divorced every minute. In your future filing indicate your status change. You will need to back it up with documents to the effect though. But then, this is Nigeria so I see no big deal here. |

First of all, it's important to be honest and transparent about the situation. Honesty is always the best policy. I remember a time when I sought help from https://academized.com/write-my-research-paper, and my teacher found out. I decided to explain to him the immense stress and busy schedule I was under, and thankfully, he understood and was lenient about it. It's reassuring when educators recognize the challenges students face and are willing to support them through difficult times. |

There's nothing to back up here. In 2 previous US refusals she was single, then the third application she's married. So she fake a marriage document plus divorce for a non existent person . These lamba documents would be submitted in the US when her husband files for her. That's when she'll see wehn. Providing false documents to USCIS? Dem go dey there refusal upon refusal. OP, just wait till you need to renew and put single At the interview tell them the truth that you thought you'd have better chance saying you were married. It's either they refuse you or grant it. Either way you have cleared your married status in their records. Your bf can then get married to you whether in the US or in Nigeria. If your renewal is refused after you tell the truth then he comes to nigeria If it is granted. you can get married in the US on a B1/B2 however the reason for your traveling is to VISIT pls. When you enter the country wait like 90 days then go court house go marry. |

Since you didn't do a proper marriage at the federal registry, your case is a bit easier. You can obtain a certificate of Spinsterhood at the federal high court , thereafter you notarize it at the ministry of foreign affairs. If the embassy wants to verify your marriage status, they will verify from the federal marriage registry and the ministry of foreign affairs and the only record they would find is that your a single. You can let them know during the interview that you had a customary marriage initially but it didn't work out, you are currently single. MelaninGemstone: |

I don't know the exact cost, it is not expensive, it is just an affidavit declaring that you are single and not married. The notarizing at the ministry of foreign affairs will cost very little also. MelaninGemstone: |

MelaninGemstone:Dear MelaninGemstone. Simply travel back to the US and explain everything to your would-be husband and both of you should approach a visa lawyer for proper guidance. The best logic is to have another real marriage in the US. All you need when filling your ds i60 is divorced in so and so time and remarried again in America. Its an understandable scenario. Use your present visa to travel back to the US and table it to your partner its not hard. God Bless Nigeria. |
