I need clarification regarding my marital history for my upcoming I-* petition.
Could you please provide more details about your marital history? For instance, have you been married multiple times, or is there a specific concern you have about your current or past marriages? This will help me give you more accurate information.
In *, my ex-husband left me and moved to another country, leaving me alone. In *, when I applied for the Diversity Visa Lottery, I listed my marital status as "single" because I was emotionally overwhelmed and unsure of the correct process at the time. I later won the lottery, immigrated to the U.S., and eventually became a U.S. citizen.
It sounds like you have a complex situation. To clarify, were you legally divorced or separated when you listed yourself as "single" on the Diversity Visa Lottery application? This detail will help in understanding your situation better.
I was orignially from Nepal

I am already a US Citizen. Since my arrival, all my official U.S. documents—including my passport and other records—reflect my status as "single" or "unmarried." I never intentionally concealed my previous marriage; I simply did not think to update this information.
Now, I intend to get married again and want to ensure that my I-* petition is accurate and compliant with USCIS requirements. Do I need to disclose my previous marriage and divorce in my application? If so, what steps should I take to correct any discrepancies in my records?
