Divorced. Remarriage and H4 & H1B

[digitaleye]

Hello,

 

I'm on H1B. I got divorced in the US in 2012. Now I intend to remarry later this month in India and want to sponsor my spouse-to-be on H4. When I filled out my DS160, I selected my marital status as Divorced and provided all the details of my ex-wife and about my divorce.

 

My spouse-to-be is also divorced. When she is filling her DS160, if she selects her Marital Status as Divorced, the system isn't letting her specify me as the primary applicant for her H4. 

 

I have read in a couple of other forums that since her H4 is based on our marriage (scheduled for later this month), she can specify her Marital Status as Married and proceed to provide my details as the primary applicant in her DS160.

 

Is this the preferred approach?

 

Also, I have already scheduled my visa interview for the first week of December. She's in the process of filling her DS160 now and will try to schedule her visa interview around the same dates as mine. We aren't sure if we will travel together. Is it recommended for her to appear for her interview separately? We will have all our documents in order like our divorce decrees, new marriage registration, wedding album etc. 

 

Would greatly appreciate any advice and tips from people familiar with this situation.

 

Thanks,
