Hello everyone i am new here, i need help to a troubling question. I have been a citizen for over 1 year and have been divorce for 2months now, i have been dating my son's mother which she also needs to file to adjust her status. I am concern if it is too soon to get married and file for her since it has been 1yr since i got my citizenship and also since i got it from my first marriage i am kinda worried if i would get into problems please help with any advice.

To help place your question in the proper forum how did your girlfriend/fiancee enter the US?

What is her current status?

What is her current status?

she is illegal, has been here for 8yrs, i think she came on a vistiors visa!

Have you known her for the last 8 years? Did you meet her when you were still married to your ex?

I'd get a lawyer. Citizenship is citizenship, I guess, but you'll probably run into questions eventually. Maybe someone else on the forum has first-hand experience of this and can offer better advice, but I tend to be over-paranoid about stuff so if I was in your position I'd definitely consult an experienced immigration attorney and see what they think.

Well if she entered the country legally then she can Adjust Status based on marriage to a US Citizen.

Is she originally from the same country as you? I ask because if she is then I could see that looking suspicious during the AOS process.

Let me see if I understand your post correctly.

You have a long time girlfriend. She is out of status for 8 years. You two have a son together.

In the in-between time, you married a USC. It helped you to become a Green Card holder, then a naturalized citizen. Afterward you divorced her.

Now, you want to marry your girlfriend, so that she can adjust status and become a Green Card holder, then, 3 years later, a US citizen.

Now you wonder if that move would look suspicious to the Immigration people who, perhaps, might suspect that this was a well-executed plan from the get-go?

Did I understand that correctly or did i mix something up?
