Hi Brit,

I want to apply for DV2021 (this will be my 3rd year applying). I filed for a divorce in February this year and my lawyer says the divorce was granted in April, but because there’s a misunderstanding between judges (?), they haven’t still produced the corresponding documents of my divorce.
The “problem” is I got married in the US, but filed for a divorce in Argentina, my country of birth, because I was living there at the moment. The Argentinian judge is saying they should transcribe the divorce in the US, and in the US they are like “no, we don’t do that”. So basically the Argentinian judge doesn’t know anything about laws, resulting in me not having my divorce papers.
I asked my lawyer what my REAL status was and she said I am LEGALLY divorced…. but I basically have no proof because I still don’t have the papers, and they don’t know how long it’s going to take to get them….

The question is…. should I enter the DV2021 as divorced? I know you’ll say that is what I should do. But I’m worried about not having documents to prove it if I happen to win (1 in a million chances, I know, but I want to do things right). My lawyer said that in that case, she could ask the judge to produce a paper saying I am divorced, but it won’t be a proper divorce certificate.
Or I’m worried that if I enter the lottery as divorced and then when I get the divorce papers, they write another date (let’s say December 2020), that will mean I will be disqualified if I win, because I will have entered incorrect information.

Sorry for the long explanation, I basically don’t know what marital status I should choose… 🙁 I don’t want them to think I am lying either way. I am “supposed” to be divorced… but without papers.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Brit

Just a quick question. In a situation where my girlfriend is pregnant and we’re not married yet. I’m planning on marrying her probably before the year ends 2019. So once we’re legally married with all the documents, i was planning on unlocking my ds260 and adding her to it. Now, my CN dv2020 OC20** and i might not be current till 8 months or more time from today. So in this case, if we do get an interview before the baby is born (my gf would be a month this month), how do i go about this?

Obviously i would need to notify the CO about this at the time of the interview. Do you think IF everything goes well and we’d get a GC, would the GC also include the unborn baby too?

Note: We’ve been together more than 2years now and we can prove that we’re in a Real relationship.
