Possibly- it could be seen as you "fishing" for a greencard and when the first husband didn't file for you, you moved on to the second.

Be prepared to show:

- why you overstayed in the first place (as you only married husband 1 a year after you entered, and tourist visa stay is 6 months)

- why the first marriage didn't work out.

- How soon after the first marriage ended you found the current husband

- Lots of bonafide evidence- co-mingling of finances, living together, photos etc.

yeah you're right thats what I'm gonna tell the interviewer because if i got married for greencard I should've ask my ex husband to file paperwork for me right after we got married.. the only thing why it didn't work out is because of his parents they are really racist(they're VIET) so they want their son to marry a Viet too....and I'm gonna tell them too that if I want greencard that bad I shouldn't wait for another 2 years to get married again...

thanks for your reply thats a great relief...God bless:-)

Yeah our divorce was finalized last April 2010 so I can prove that its been 2yrs before i got married again..thanks God Bless:-)

it shouldn't be a big problem if you and your husband are prepared to show that you have taken steps toward a committed marriage.

yeah definitely...and i hope it will help that he is in Military...

thanks and God bless:-)

But do they really check if someone had applied for AOS from previous marriage or not?

I hope they just don't assume or guess.
