Previous petitions - how much of a red flag?

[Rufus2012 175]

Some of the responses to Sannybel's thread about the rejection in the Dominican Republic got me wondering, how much of a red flag is a previous K-1 petition?

In my case, I petition for my then Canadian fiance in 1998; the K-1 was accepted and we went through the AOS process with no issues (and it was much quicker). The marriage ended in divorce in 2007. There were no children. She did not become a citizen, but as far as I know, still resides in the US as an LPR.

How much of a liability will this be for the petition I just filed? This was 13 years ago after all.

I was previously told and someone correct me please if I am wrong. You can file 2 K-1 petitions during your lifetime without a waiver. I have seen other cases on here where previous K-1s had been filed and it appeared that there was no problem.

I would say that considering your previous marriage lasted for nearly 10 years and I am assuming you didn't have any problems with it previously that it wouldn't be a big deal. You will just be asked about it. Provide as much info about it as you can. Be straight forward and honest about it, which I am sure you intend to do.

I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about. I wish you the best and hopefully someone that has some experience with this situation will come along and provide you with a better answer.

Its not a problem at all.

As far as only being able file 2 K-1 petitions, absolutely not true. If you go beyond two you just have to file for a waiver request on IMBRA filing limitations.

Good luck,

It is a minor red flag that disappears as time passes. Remember that you must could your ex as a house hold member untill you are sure she is a USC or completed the 40 quarters of work.
