Married then divorced
Hi,
I was married to a USC back in 2006, One thing lead to another and things well went to the wrong place so we decided to get divorced. We did not file any documents and we were married for a short period of time (a couple of months). I went back to my country and havent visited the US since. The thing we did was that we did not just divorced but using a court judge to "erase" that marriage, Meaning as if it was never done (i have a document called "Request To Enter Default") i just know its not the normal divorce thing but rather an erase of the marriage itself.
So based on that i was wondering if i will ever have any problems entering the US now?
If i happen to marry again will this be a problem? Should i mention this in the application? Since it was erased there should be no record of the marriage.
Thank you.
What you are referring to is an annulment. Its not completely erased; the record of it is still there and you need to list that marriage on certain immigration forms, and provide proof of how and when the marriage was terminated.
A prior marriage is not a problem by itself, as long as it was properly terminated and you dont try to hide it. But if you overstayed when you were in the US (you mentioned not filing any documents -- I presume you mean you didnt file any immigration documents), that could prevent you from returning to the US for years, depending on how long your overstay was.
I did not overstay. And i have no documents to provide as a proof for the marriage being terminated. Where can i get them?
Get the doc from the court that handled the annulment.
