Married in England, Divorced and now want to marry again?

[truefd 0]

My wife / ex-wife lives in England, me in the US. We met in 2006, had a baby in 2008 and were married through fiance visa in England in 2009. Then I lost my job and we didn't think I'd ever be able to get them over here so she asked for a divorce which went through August 2012. No we want to do a fiance visa and get married again over here now that I am working again. Was wondering if it's possible or the divorce would ruin our chances. She's never lived here or me there. I doubt we're even registered as married or divorced here in the US. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Yes that is fine, as long as you can show you are legally divorced now. You need to be free to marry for the fiance visa. They will need to see divorce cert etc but it's no problem.

You married through fiance visa in England? So you never applied for any type of visa for the USA? Can't see why you should have any problems getting a K-1, as long as you have met again in person during the last two years.

She will likely be asked a few more questions than usual at interview about the bonafides of the relationship, ie whether she is sure it will last this time but I don't see any major issues.

I got the visa here in Florida for us to get married there which was tough. Turned down the first two times because of dumb mistakes on the forms. Got the biometrics, had to have church already booked and had to go out there for two weeks just to get license and then went back for 2 weeks for wedding then I came back here without them.
