Dear all,
I am writing in relation to the spouse field of DV application form. My mother is officially divorced (she has divorce docs and court decision). Thus, what should be checked in this DV form? Should we list my father of whom we have no clue and even simple photo? ( we dont know even his current location) What should be done? I am sorry for maybe stupid question, but I am really confused and desperate since I dont wanna mess whole app just cause one small issue. Below I present both clauses from the form itself and FAQ. I express great appreciation and enormous thanks for your help.
Regards,
Tertul.
excerpt from dv form
"Current marital status – Unmarried, married, divorced, widowed, or legally separated. Enter the
name, date of birth, gender, city/town of birth, country of birth of your spouse, and a photograph of
your spouse meeting the same technical specifications as your photo.
Failure to list your eligible spouse will result in disqualification of the principal applicant and
refusal of all visas in the case at the time of the visa interview. You must list your spouse here
even if you plan to be divorced before you apply for a visa. A spouse who is already a U.S. citizen
or a Lawful Permanent Resident will not require or be issued a DV visa, though you will not be
penalized if you list them on your entry form. See the Frequently Asked Questions for more
information about family members."
FAQ clause
"Spouse: You must list your spouse (husband or wife) regardless of whether or not he/she is living with you or
intends to immigrate to the United States. You must list your spouse even if you are currently separated from
him/her, unless you are legally separated (i.e., there is a written agreement recognized by a court or a court
order). If you are legally separated, you do not have to list your spouse, though you will not be penalized if
you do so. If you are divorced or your spouse is deceased, you do not have to list your former spouse."
