My fiance is an indian.

[Patni]

Hello to everyone,

I am an African lady and a selectee fir the dv lottery 2014, presently in India to visit my fiance and get physically introduced to his family. We have been dating for 3-4 years now and we are planning to get married soon next year but we are confused and scarced because of the following reasons

1- He is an indian and India is not eligible. Does that reduces our chances?

2- He got divorced 3 years back ( he was forced into an arranged marriage). How can this affect us.

3- When I played, we were not yet engaged and so, I am ''single'' in the forms I sent to KCC. Now that we are engaged, what should I do?

4- Can we get married? If yes, what are the risks on the lottery won?

5- Once married, what are the things we will need to do for him to benefit and how does KCC and/or the USA EMBASSY handles such cases?

With the CN I have, I guess my interview will be in july or August.

Please, help us with your experiences and advices.

Thanks in advance.

How many more times are you going to post the same question??

It DOESNT MATTER what his nationality is as long as you are eligible.
He must have his divorce certificate.
When you get married send updated forms to KCC. You can't do anything before you are legally married. If he has children from his previous marriage they need to be listed on the forms even if they are not coming with you.
You need to take proof it's a bona fide marriage. Photos etc from before. Going to India to meet his family is also a sign it's a proper marriage - be sure to take photos and keep other records of the trip as well.

Ok but really, if you make posts to ask a question, you need to check whether it's been answered before posting the same thing again...

If you haven't done so already, fill out the forms, DSP-122 and DS230 for yourself and send them to KCC to let them know you plan on processing your selection to start with.

1. No, his native country has no bearing on your selection

2. As long as he has his divorce papers which they may request to see at the embassy, there's nothing to worry about from that end.

3. You fill out your forms and send them back to KCC, you will still indicate "Single" as your marital status. Being engaged is not the same as being married. After you get married, you will need to update your information with KCC by filling out another set of forms for yourself in which you will now select "Married" as your marital status. Like Susieqqq already noted above, if your spouse has children from his previous marriage, you will need to list them on your form as your step children, even if he does not have custody of them or you do not plan on migrating with them. You will also fill out a set of forms for your partner as your husband, children from previous marriage should also be listed on his form. You can now send both set of forms to KCC, you will need to include a copy of your marriage certificate with the forms you're sending to KCC at this stage.

4. Yes, you can get married. You will need to show lots of evidence to convince the CO at the time of the interview though that the marriage is not a fake marriage entered into simply for the purpose of getting a GC. You will need to prove you've been in a long standing relationship - evidence such as photos taken together and with family members, joint assets/accounts if you have any, records of phone calls/texts messages/emails exchanged, records of trips taken together or to visit one another if you're not living in the same place, etc are some of the evidence you may need to gather.

5. See 3 above for the first part of your question. For the second part you will both need to attend the interview together wherever your interview is scheduled. If KCC receives your updated forms with the marriage certificate ahead of when your CN becomes current, his name will be included in your interview letter as a derivative.

Good luck!

He has no child.

I will follow your guidance though I had already sent the first forms.
