2nd Immigrant Visa?? Possible or Not

[rsantillano 0]

HI All,

I need to get some help... My divorce was finalized (first wife) in May 2010. In October I met a nice lady from the Philippines, we hit it off then in January 2011 I filed for a fiance visa(I129F). She was approved in May 2011 and she arrived in the US July 2011. We married at the end of July 2011. We Adjusted her status and recently received her green card (valid for only 2 year)

She became very depressed and home sick in December 2011 and decided that she should go home to the Philippines (in Jan 2012)and we should divorce. We are planning to do a quick divorce in Nevada in January 2012...

My questions are... Is it possible for my to bring another Fiance or Wife to the US after my up coming divorce in 2012?

Will the immigration folks question this or is there a limitation for how many immigrant visa's I can get approved? I'm a natural born US Citizen.

I need to know the route I should take to bring the next lady to the US - a. should I marry her in the philippines and file for a spouse visa or b. File for another fiance visa?

In either case how long after my pending divorce should I wait to file for the next visa whether spouse or fiance?

Anyone with similar experiences(Divorce and applying for another visa)?

Any help would be appreciated... Thank you and god bless

Hello! While reading your post, I think, for now, it is best to work out on your current relationship. Please take time to listen and understand the reason of her being depressed and homesick. Maybe she just need to keep in touch regularly with her family or perhaps only need a short vacation.

Well, If both of you have already decided to go divorce this Jan 2012, then I think you have to work out first on the divorce - one day at a time! Give time to heal your heart -- I'm sure, it wasn't an easy experience.

On your next petition, I think it would still be possible, as long all your papers are in order, and you are legally free to marry before filing the petition. I wish you good luck then and God bless !

To file a 2nd petition would give hard time to your partner esp your new partner would need to show that you and her do have bonafide relationship.

I am an expert on this subject sad to say. Anyway yes you can bring another AFTER you divorce the current wife. After the divorce send USCIS and NVC a letter stating that the marriage ended in divorce and you will not be filing to remove the conditional status of her greencard and you wish to withdraw your petition for her. Include a copy of the divorce decree with the letter. Then your good to go. Now also, regarding a K-1 visa, your allowed 1 within a 2 year period. If its less then 2 years since you last applied for and was approved on a K-1 visa, then you need to ask USCIS for a waiver (permission to file for another K-1 so soon). I did 1 on a K-1, she went back after 2 months and we never married. The next one I married in Philippines but after she got here she went crazy lol and she took off on me, we ended up getting divorced.

If you file for another K-1 petition within two years of the approval of your last petition, you will need to request a waiver.

Your wife has been here less than 6 months and she is so depressed and home sick she needs to return home?

We don't have all of the details and we only have one side of the story,

Did you do all you could to help ease the feelings of being home sick?

What steps did you take to deal with her depression?

Did you seek out Filipino social organizations in your area?

Did you try to find other Filipinos/Filipinas in your area for her to make friends with?

Is there an Asian market in your area where she could possibly find food she is familiar with?

Was the Filipino channel (s) available in your area?

Did she attend mass where she might meet other Filipinos/Filipinas?

Did you try to set up meeting with the priest so he could counsel both of you?

How old is your wife? Could her level of maturity be an issue? I would think a mature woman would have known that getting married means

she was taking a very serious step and the vows should not be taken lightly and she would be away from her family for extended periods of time.

I can understand being home sick, but to end a marriage for that and a dose of depression!

You have to show a bona fide relationship in any case. Its hard to use one situation to dictate the outcome of others because you really dont know all the details of that case. The CO is looking at evidence thats not posted here by the poster. In short, if you are legitimate, not doing anything illegal, then you have nothing to worry about. Sad to say I been through this 3 times already. I made some mistakes. Rushed into a marriage. I'm not blaming anyone, but I made 3 very bad choices in women and I paid the price. But I will say this, the immigration laws in USA dont make it easy to have a longdistance relationship. They kinda make you rush into some stuff just so you can be together. Anyway if this girl dont want to be married to you or vice versa , then sobeit. You tried right? It didn't work out. If she wants to divorce you and stay here she will have a hard time getting that conditional status removed from her greencard. If she is going back then any notion that you did all this to get around immigration laws are out the window. You should be ok. Now if she is going to try to stay here and lets say accuse you of abuse, then it might come back to haunt you later. But as long as your doing nothing wrong I wouldn't worry about it.

Talk about a string of bad luck. It is situations like you (twice) have encountered, that should cause one to choose wisely, look for red flags and think looooooooooog and hard about his potential mate.

Yes your right and I am proud to say I finally found the ONE, my SOULMATE. I trust Racquel with anything, she is my life.

Hi All,

I guess my other question is: How quickly should I wait before marrying another lady from the Philippines? I think on the next one I will marry her there and bring her over as a spouse rather than a fiance.

Thank you all for the replies

If your divorce is final on a monday morning technically you can get married again Monday after lunch hahaha . Its up to you and the bride. You know the truth is you really cant go wrong with a filipina, I mean most are the best women you can meet on the planet. Me, I just made a few bad choices. I was stupid , fooled, and just in a rush. Take your time and with your experience now and advice from others i'm sure you will find the right one and be happy ever after. I finally found my baby.
