In 2002, my ex-wife came over on a K1 Visa. Now fast forward nearly 8 years.. My ex and i were married for 6 years, now i have remarried my chinese wife. Is having a K1 over 8 years ago a concern, or a Red Flag ? My wife knows all about the ex-wife, but is very worried now that she will not get her CR1 visa, on top of that she is 8 weeks pregnant. I hope there are comforting words to be read..

Well it could be country specific but I don't think it should be an issue at all. There is a timeframe of once every 2 years I think it is (though you can do it sooner with a waiver) so you're obviously fine there. Also your first marriage lasted long enough that it doesn't look like it was just for immigration purposes. They might ask her some questions about why the marriage failed to make sure you guys have talked about it but I honestly don't think it will be too big of an issue at all.

There may be some extra scrutiny but if you have good evidence of bona fides and she's well prepared for the interview, all should be well.

I dont think it will be a concern. I filed a K-1 about 9 years ago ... marriage lasted almost 7 years and then I filed for a Cr-1 and was approved with my wife now...they didnt ask questions about it...I just put it on the I-130 where it asked about petitioning prior.

i am confused -

who is who ?

fiance, wife, ex-wife #1, ex-wife #2, etc etc . and which person has 2 or more labels?

For me - the use of the word 'remarried' is troublesome, throwing more confusion.

If I understand, though - it's what -

A K-1, ending in divorce,

with an I-130 afterwards - 2 different women.

big time gap inbetween.

ya?

you'll be fine - just show all - at each point -

--I-130 submittal day

--NVC

--interview

IMO, you have NO IMBRA issues, which is really the thing that MIGHT have killed this. Because of visa types and time gap, you are FINE.

Good Luck !

To clarify and thanks:

K1 - Ended in Divorce June 2008, Initally filed in May 2002 about 8 years ago todate.

I-130 - My Wife Now..... Different Woman. Filed with USCIS 3 February 2010.

I also feel there are not IMBRA issues involved here. I read alot about this and should not be any problems there. Yes large time gap...

thanks for giving me back my "warm and fuzzy feeling" When we get through this, Maybe i'll get rid of my gray hairs. Oh, my wife is now 2 months pregnant and i hope we can get to the interview before she can't fly anymore. I guess no matter what or how long she is, she can go to the interview and if that late in the pregnancy, stay to delivery our baby then head out, pardon the play on words, to me here in the States. I am under the assumption that her visa is good for 6 months from time of issuance, correct?

Thanks Again

Dan

Dan - if you want to shave off some time, on processing -

OPT IN for NVC Electronic Processing, after NOA-2.

Shaves off 60 to 120 days of 'wait time', compared to a 'NVC paper processing' case.
