Filing a k-1 petition - second time around

[lion_lioness 0]

Hi everyone,

I am not new to the immigration process as I went through the K-1 process a year ago, married and now divorce (all in 2 years). I am in a new relationship and my fiance and I are trying to decide if we should go the K-1 route or just marry. I contacted USCIS and have read the notices regarding the IMBRA laws. I have some questions and I hope you all can help.

First, it says if you have filed two k-1's previously or have an approved k-1 in the past two years (this applies to me) you need to file a waiver. Based on my conversation with USCIS, the waiver in the case is just a letter stating my situation and that I have no criminal record whatsoever (the rep suggested I attached my clear police record to support that). So the question is, what is the waiver really? Is it just the letter as the USCIS rep expressed to me.

Second, I know its a long shot, but has anyone had a similar experience? I mean filing for K-1, marriage, divorce and then filing for another K-1? Are we better off with filing CR1?

Thanks in advice for any advice. Good luck to all!

I would suggest looking at, and posting in the IMBRA topics forum, and you'll get much more information than you will in this forum.
