Now as to the part about him marrying another woman by force, yeah I believe you are right about that. Whether he was forced or not shouldn't make a difference to me at all. Yet he is angry at me for having an online fling because I was lonely. That's all I did. Anyway yes he married that woman behind my back while we were together in Jan 2011 and in Nov 2011 he confessed but in Feb 2012 he divorced her and now a year later we officially got married IN INDIA. Let me ask you a question. He told me when I apply that I should not put down that he was married before. Why is that? So I asked him for proof that he officially divorced her but he told me that there is no papers for that because he never registered his marriage but she did move out of his house for a year now. So I don't understand this. Now you have me thinking whether I should apply or not. at this point I don't think I will apply but if he wants me to live in India with him for a while and he changes his ways and stops talking about America then that is something I might entertain. What you think?
Sigh. Wow. Was that so necessary? Maybe I should explain something to you that YOU are not understanding: people fake marriage documents in courts and churches, and do things under the table. Especially in countries like India. If that seems improbable to you, I suggest you may need a tiny reality check. Having been on this site for years and heard stories that are so mind bogglingly shocking and stupid, I never just make assumptions anymore because it turns out there is a severe amount of dumabassery and illegal crap going down daily. Don't mistake me for an idiot, and kindly don't make the mistake of speaking to me in such a manner again, please.
Anyways, you should NOT apply for him. Asking you not to put his previous marriage down tells me he is hiding something and trying to get over to the US based on a lie. If he felt everything was on the up and up he would just disclose the truth fully and let the chips fall. You are on the hook for everything he says on that application, and if they find out something isn't legitimate and you knew about it, you could be guilty of committing immigration fraud. That is bad news. You need to tell him that the only way you would consider applying for him is if he is 100% honest about everything on his application, or else he is putting your life in jeopardy. Then your choice will be to move to India and live there with him for the rest of your lives, or leave him. Never, ever screw with immigration.
As my husband's sponsor I was on the hook for his monetary needs until he became a citizen, which took five years. That meant if he ever went on welfare or was collecting unemployment benefits, I WAS THE ONE required to pay the government back, because he wasn't entitled to those benefits as a sponsored permanent resident. These are all things you need to be aware of. Eyes wide open.
