I-130 petition for spouse

[pjks 0]

Hi All

I am trying to file I-130 for my wife who lives outside USA whom I got married a month ago.

I am naturalized US Citizen . My GreenCard was filed on basis of my marriage to my Ex wife who was a US Citizen. We got divorced after 7 years of marriage because of differences on 2011 January .I did have the Greencard at that time . I got my citizenship after 5 years based on being permanent resident of 5 years not based on marrige of USC.

Questions....

1) Do you see any issues in my filing I-130 for my new wife because of my divorce although my marriage was in good faith, should I be eligble to file I-130 for my new wife?

2) On Form I-130 , for...

a) Point 14a If you are lawful permanent resident alien complete the following .... ------ should it be 'N/A' as I am a citizen and not lawful permanent resident ?

3) Do I still need to answer Pt#14b as I am not permanent resident but citizen ? Do I answer 'N/A' to this question ? If I do need to answer should my answer be "Yes" although I was divorced before I got the citizenship ?

3)

I apologize for so many questions in one mail ..

Thanks to you for your help and guidance

1. should be fine.

2. Yes, use N/A

3. Technically speaking it should be NO but the real answer should be YES. It is tricky - I hope someone with similar experience will answer.
