Marital status on N400 application

[quynh]

Hi,
I have a situation with my N400 application. Here is the view of my case:
1/ I apply as a 5 year permanent resident.
2/ Before I came to USA, I had been married and divorced. My immigration documents surely have this information
3/ So, I am filling my N-400 application for naturalization, when they ask "what is your current marital status", what should I answer?
Should I say "single, never married"? Because I actually never married in America. My previous married was not legal in America.
But if they check my immigration status, they know that I had been married once?

Normally, marriages anywhere are legal in the U.S. Why is your prior marriage any different? And why did you already report your prior marriage on other immigration documents?
