Filing 2nd time

[melusine84 0]

Hello everyone. I previously went through this process with my first husband, a Mexican man. We were married for 5 years and are now divorced. He had received a 10-year permanent resident card, and therefore is still in the USA. I am now re-married to a Paraguayan man (the wedding was just last month, but we've been living together in Paraguay for a year, and have 1 son together). Does anyone know if the fact I previously sponsored someone will affect my status? And with the divorce, are there any loose ends to wrap up? I guess I never did follow-up as he was still allowed to be in the US legally, and the only form I know about after being in the US is the address change... Thanks so much!!!!

They will look at your petition more closely, but the fact that you were marrierd to the ex 5 years and have lived with current hubby for a year are strong positive points.

As long as you are legally divorced, no issues there, but remember until the ex gets citizenship you are still financially responsible for him, so your household size for the Affidavit of Support is one bigger.

Thanks! I remembered we're still financially responsible for him, but it would not have occured to me to include him in our "household!"
