I married the wrong sister

[itlog 0]

I don't know how many people have run into this situation before but here it goes anyway. So a couple of years ago I got married to this girl from the Philippines. I thought we were in love but found out that she was just really good at manipulating people. Eventually I was able to file a K1, get her to the US, marry her then find out she had someone back home. I had that marriage annulled for marriage fraud. So I go about my business dating other girls. But now, I end up with her sister. Eventually I do want to bring her over. My question is will their relationship be a burden to my petition? Also, will I have to send a copy of my annulment papers with the K1 petition? Has anyone run into this before?

Where is the first sister? If still in the USA, chances of you bringing her sister over on a fiance visa would be pretty slim.

Assuming your ex-wife is back in the Phils, you do file a copy of your annulment with your petition. If the first K-1 is two years ago or less, you also write a letter explaining the situation and request a waiver under IMBRA. Better make darned sure that you present plenty of evidence that this new relationship is very real and that it has not just come up in the last few months. I wonder what your past and future in-laws think about all this?

What's IMBRA? In general, what should be in that letter? My main way of contacting her has been through prepaid phone cards. I can pull my detailed calling but it will only have the 800 number for the phone card. Will that be a problem?

My past and future in-laws are very happy about the whole situation. When my first wife went back to her country, she wasn't allowed to move back in for a while because she brought shame to her family.

IMBRA = International Marriage Broker Act.

She brought shame to her family? uh,..... ok.

IMBRA is International Marriage Brokers Act. Don't ask why it applies to this, but it does. Read the directions for the I-129f. You need to be able to prove that you have actually visited your fiancee within the last two years (and not, presumably, in her capacity as your wife's sister) and the more recently, the better. E-mails, chat logs, and above all photographs, flight tickets, hotel bills, are all needed. You've been there, done that, so you already know this.

So basically I just need the same information as before with the addition of the IMBRA paperwork and a much much better explanation?!?

My thoughts on this are that any girl who is willing to get with her sister's ex-husband has questionable morals, no matter how "in love" she may seem with you. This kind of relationship is asking for trouble, and is bound to create even more family drama--resentment, jealousy, fights. I personally wouldn't want to get myself involved in a mess like that or be a catalyst for the break-up of family relationships. It's just not worth it. No matter how hard it may seem, end the relationship and move on to find someone else that isn't willing to risk destroying her relationship with family. Family, after all, is first and foremost. Another way to look at it is, would you marry a girl that your own brother or sister had been in a relationship with, whether married or boyfriend/girlfriend? Would you be willing to ruin your relationship with him/her for a so-called love with their ex? Or on the other side, how would you feel if your own brother/sister told you they were going to marry your own ex?
