What is the name of your state? MO
A couple of years ago i was in a traditional union ( we call it "come we stay"in my country which is basically just 2 people living together like man and wife and only the traditional rites are undertaken that is payment of bride price ). We never legalised the union but when i was applying for my visa to come to the US to study i indicated that i was married though there are no documents to show the marriage. We later drifted apart and separated . Traditionally my parents returned the bride price to show we are no longer "married" .
I am currently married to a US citizen and i'm in the process of filing for a green card . In most of the forms they require info on former spouses.I don't know how to answer this questions since it was just a traditional arrangement and I know traditional marriages are not recognised in the US.I have no documents to show i was married or separated .
How do i handle this?
