Second AOS scenario for my husband

[tigersjaw 0]

Hi guys.

I am hoping someone has been in a similar scenario to us.

My husband married his ex wife while she was visiting from Germany and they underwent the entire AOS process.

Their marriage broke down incredibly quickly and they 'separated' - but still lived together (albeit in separate rooms in the house) as my husband did not want to force this girl to return to her home country... She had a job, dogs, friends, a home etc in American already. He's a nice guy and allowed her to stay married to him which in hindsight he probably somewhat regrets but anyway, bear with me.

He and I started dating. Fast forward a year later and we are married. They are divorced. We are looking at me adjusting status rather than returning to England; he has had some family upset and we do not want to be separated.

Can anyone suggest red flags, or offer advice for this situation? Has anyone been through anything similar?

Assuming the order of your statement is backwards and first they divorced and then you married, then just how big a red flag this all is depends on how long they stayed married, how much time between the divorce and your marriage and WHEN she moved out of the house. What you have going for you, is that Germans and Brits, are not known for entering into marriages with US Citizens, just to get an immigration benefit. Be honest and straight forward, and I expect you'll be treated as well as you might expect.

~~moved to AOS from W, S, T visas from IR1/CR1 process and procedures. OP says they're adjusting status not seeking a visa~~

The only red flag I see is they may think he's in the habit of getting tourists their greencards.

Be prepared for lots of questions trying to determine the validity of your marriage.

How long ago was his previous marriage? Is she still an LPR or has she acquired her US citizenship?

It may be that he's still on the hook for her Afidavit of Support, not sure what effect that could have on your process but it would be a good idea to look in to it.

He lived with her until around March this year, they were married something like 2.5 years prior to their divorce and he and I married 5 months later. Our relationship started last July or so, however - while they were under the same roof. So evidence of our relationship like emails, photos, flight tickets etc, all goes back from us first meeting... We were friends for a while and it became romantic in time, prompting him to divorce her in order for us to be together. So there was a crossover of our relationship and his marriage/her living with him.

I am worried that in itself will cause problems.

Unsure of some other questions asked regarding her status so will ask him.

The only red flag I see is that 2.5 years is enough time to get a conditions lifted on a 2 year green card. So by marrying you 5 months later, it looks like your husband providing visa benefit marriage.

I can understand that. However as I explained up-thread we have a tonne of evidence regarding our relationship being bonafide. They married after knowing one another for about two months which seems far more dubious. He massively regrets it. I am now worried that stupid decision will affect us.

Her conditions also never got lifted.

She left the US?

Apparently she was sent a letter saying her green card had been granted another year of validity...?

[Boiler 43,436]

So she has filed to remove conditions.

Would my husband not have had to be involved in this process somehow? He seems adamant she has not had conditions removed.

[Cathi 5,610]

Has she removed conditions????????????

[tigersjaw 0]

She never got her 5 year green card. She only has the original green card which was for 2 years, plus a form that has granted an extra year?

[blest.but.strest 50]

5 year green card??

I'm just going off what my husband has told me who I now suspect may be pretty misinformed. Don't really know what to do.
