*- Do I need to update my previous divorce status with all relevant departments, such as USCIS, the Department of State for the Diversity Visa Lottery, and my bank, before getting married again, or can it be done after marriage? When is the right time to do so? I am planning to marry soon and file an I-* for my spouse after marriage. What would be the best course of action? Should I inform all relevant departments about my divorce status before marriage, or can it be updated afterward?

*. My U.S. passport states that I am single and unmarried, but I am returning to Nepal for a court marriage with my fiancée. It would be best to disclose my divorce history in court, correct?

However, I want to avoid future complications and handle this process correctly.
