Two of my friends are applying for citizenship, and one of them was married before 1 time. His divorce papers show an execution date which is 6 months AFTER the date he got married to the current spouse. (Marriage was in June 1976, and divorce papers show execution date of January 1977).
They are afraid that this would look bad, as if they got married while the divorce was not yet executed from the previous marriage.
But actually the spouse of the previous marriage had separated and was not living with that person by the time he got married to the current spouse.
Would that be a big deal in the eys of USCIS? Should they just list the separation date. Aparently divorce papers in the 70's took for ever to get aproved.
