Hi my case is a bit problematic, back in 2010 i married a girl in Ecuador, it was in good faith but life does not assure us happiness forever, so i petition her residence, but our marriage was not doing good, so she got her papers the temporary ones, and finally the permanent, but our marriage was not strong enough to keep on going, so we divorced at the beginning of this year, she is in this country and made a new life with someone else, and i am doing the same, Now my fiance is living in Ecuador, so my question to this matter is, can i petition my fiance to come to the States and marry me here? how long after i got divorce can i remarried? would i have any problems in doing so?please i need some help to clarify my doubts.

thank you Saul Zhagui

You can file for the K-1 visa for your fiance whenever you want as long as you are legally divorced. A word of caution is to make sure you have an abundant amount of relationship proof as you will likely be scrutinized more than most due to your previous petition for your wife from the same country. In order to do the petition for the K-1, you need to have met in person in the last two years in the US so make sure you have adequate proof for that. If you look through the guides at the top, they will give you some great answers for the K-1 visa process and the requirements.

I do not know if that is a typo but your statement( In order to do the petition for the K-1, you need to have met in person in the last two years in the US) is wrong. It does not matter where they meet, it can be in any country as long as they have met in person within 2 years of filing the I-129f petition
