Can a us citizen mary more than one Alien???

adambern7 · April 6, 2016

Hi guys ! My name is Adam I am originally from Canada. I have become a US citizen trough marriage to my wife who is a citizen by birth and now we have 2 children after 6 years of marriage. One day she told me she would go on a business trip overseas, when she came back I found out that she actually met with a guy over there. Now that we are soon to be divorced she is planning to go see the same guy again after our divorce is final. My question is whether she would be able to get married again with this guy and bring him to the states to live with her and if she would be granted the right to do this again after she did it with me (I mean going through USCIS to bring him here). I would be so grateful if anyone can answer my question, thank you!

A US citizen can have up to 2 approved I-129F petitions and unlimited spousal visas. Even for the K-1, they can get an exemption from the maximum two limit.

As long as they are valid relationships , there is no limit. At the point money changes hands in return for love , then immigration is not so happy.

Thank you so much guys for your replies I really do appreciate it. I have contacted a lawyer to see if I can legally win custody of my children. I cant imagine seeing my children grow up with another man not that I don't want her to remarry and have a happy life again. My biggest concern in this life is my children. I turned to you guys fro help because someone told me that she cant bring another Alien " man" to live with her after she did the same with me. I have also heard that this time USCIS will be more meticulous while looking at her application and more likely deny it for whatever reason. Any way thank you so much again for your replies and any other input will be appreciated.

We seem to have moved from immigration to Divorce law, what you want is extremely unlikely.

So, what happens if you get in to a new relationship?

Is it ok for those kids to grow up with another woman parental figure but not for a new male one?

So you want your wife to stay single and unhappy for the next however many years until your children are grown all because you don't want another father figure in their lives?

You initially asked if she could marry another foreignor. Now it seems you are hoping that she will never have a relationship (not necessarily marriage) with any other man. That has nothing to do with immigration.

People have step parents all the time. I had many. Maintain a decent relationship with your ex wife and you'll learn which is which because you two will communicate.

I have never gotten along well with my step-mother. But yet my father is still with her. She really is a piece of work and I'm not even sure I can be happy for him. I had one step dad who sucked and another who isn't that bad.

My daughter has a step-father (my husband) and her father has a girl friend (effectively a step mother.) She is loved by all, taken care of by all, and has a pretty good life considering everything. Her father and I decided together that neither of us wanted another person to attempt to replace our roles as parents in our child's life. My husband does not attempt to father my child, and her step-mother doesn't attempt to mother her. Certainly there are things they do naturally because either I'm not there, or he's not, but discipline in my home falls completely to me, and discipline in his falls completely to him. Now that doesn't work in every household and it doesn't work either if someone isn't a good parent. Some step-parents are much better parents than their bio parents could ever be. I know of a few cases on the forums that are like that. We get along a lot better as separate parents than we did together. Our daughter never again has to watch us argue everyday.

To me, it sounds like you are more concerned about someone else taking your place in your children's life than anything else and you haven't really thought about making yourself irreplaceable. Yes, you should have joint custody if you are actively involved in their lives. If that means getting it on paper, then absolutely do that, but do it amicably as possible. You should keep the lines of communication open so that you know if she's deciding to introduce another man into their lives. She doesn't need your permission for this btw, however if you are civil, and friendly with your children's mother, she'll let you know. Depending on the age of the children you can ask them where they want to live as well. But don't take their mother away because you fear someone else will be in their lives as a step-parent. Don't be so afraid that you'll be replaced that you push them and their mother away from you too. Be their dad. Be a good dad. Be a good man. Be friendly and civil with the mother of your children. Just because you don't get along with her, or your relationship didn't work out, doesn't mean you can't get along for the sake of your children for drop off and pick up, sick days, school and extra-curricular events. No one says you have to be together but being civil and even friendly to each other, is better for your children for the rest of their lives.
