Lets just say she's not related to me but we are on good family terms

To be honest, I don't even have an understanding of what a first cousins' cousin is. I would not class that as related.

So you have met (can provide physical evidence?), once you are divorced you'd be free to marry and you are not closely related. Last stumbling block are the IMBRA regs and/or multiple filing. Can't help you with that, but there is a dedicated subforum on here for you to check out.


I can provide all the evidences besides pictures of her and I together.

India is unsafe? As an aside how would anyone know you are a USC?

How close is she to you - you say she is in your family. The US doesn't like family members getting married (even first, second, third cousins). This is your third petition now - don't you want to m

How are you going to deal with the photo evidence?

If she is in the wedding photos then I guess that might do but you would be a VJ first doing this.

And there have been some very unusual circumstances on VJ.

I'm really not sure why would USCIS question my multiple petitions because I withdrew them 2 weeks after applying on both times. If anything, USCIS should be happy that I am good at determining who will last with me and call it out before things get delayed and they arrive in this country.

Both of my petitions were withdrawn 2 weeks after applying. This is a great thing than some here marry people and bring them over to US and then divorce them.

I was thinking the same. Meeting a future spouse at your own wedding.. kinda odd, but perhaps permissable in a one-off situation like OP's.

Yes, agreed but due to circumstances. This is the situation I'm facing.

Sounds like your best bet will be to get married and go the CR1 route.

I am surprised that her parents would consider her going abroad un married, certainly seen that one with religious parents.

Well we were planning to do some sort of ceremony back home once she gets approved for Visa and then get married in the US within the 3 months.

Sounds like your best bet will be to get married and go the CR1 route.

Sorry, what is CR1 route?

Wish you the best.. spotted some inconsistencies in your post. The IO at the US Emb reviewing her i129 will be quite curious about multiple filings. An abandoned i129f and an abandoned i130 are flags. Another flag.. a new i129f so soon after a divorce.


The quickness of the divorce being granted..4-6 months.. surprised me. I've lived in India, and experienced legal (though not divorce) cases moving at a snails pace.


Not to discourage you, but based on several posts here on VJ, the chances of a K-1 from India are iffy. Some rejected i129 petitioners have had to go to India to marry and subsequently file through Consular Processing.


Btw, contrary to your statement, "country back home\ mother land", is NOT unsafe. As a US citizen, I've been to India multiple times in the past years to meet family, get engaged, and just four months ago, to get married. Everyone felt safe, including my US citizen friends at the wedding. A colleague of mine just returned having traveled in Delhi, Kashmir, and Indore all by himself; and he's Caucasian American :)


Indian cultural thinking has evolved, but what are the chances her parents would allow their daughter going to live overseas but not allow her "dating" or otherwise being photographed together with her future spouse.


May want to work out your inconsistencies, but otherwise good luck! Hope things work out.

I guess what you're trying to say is to go back home and get married. Then come back and apply for the i130.

This is a diy site, but I would not tell anyone not to use a lawyer,not everybody is comfortable with the paper work.

That's a safer bet. Nothing is ever guaranteed, esp with a couple of abandoned petitions, but I-130 odds are preferable.
