Visa-Marriage-Divorce-and now?!

[3rd 84]

It's not impossible, but you're going to have a tougher battle on your hands than last time. If I were you I'd spend as much time visiting each other before even contemplating applying. It's also very soon after your divorce, I'd let the dust settle a little first!

I beg to differ. She might have an easier time if her previous marriage was genuine and ended properly. She did not try to stay in the US to hang on to the green card. So if her new relationship is genuine, I don't think she has any problem getting the visa. Go for it OP.

That's the thing if i were visa shopping i would've stayed there the first time. Instead I abandoned it. Not because of any other reason but the fact that if i didnt have my husband i didnt want to be there. I left everything to settle with him not for the green card. he plans to comevisit me sometime soon and he has the same religion and he is a pakistani too. And once uve been hurt its very difficult to just fall in love blindly and follow your emotions at one point u have to consider the logistics too. I wouldnt want to be in a marriage where we r miserable and cant be together. Or he has to shift for me and in the end starts resenting me. Hope you understand what i mean.

Ok this all just happened August 2015 that's less than a year ago. OP was married so she should have a conditional green card. Isn't a conditional green card valid for 2 years. Check and see if your green card is still valid. You may have an opportunity to remove the conditions on your own. I totally understand your ex-husband is no longer in your life, however if it doesn't work out with a petitioner they have no right to send you back. You have a choice to leave or to continue your life in the US as a PM. You made a choice to leave. You may still have your green card. Find that out first then move from there. Good Luck.

It is sad that people leave everything behind and petitioners especially husband's as petitioners feel like they have the right to send someone back to their home country. YOU DON"T. know your rights and do some research.

If this is true that would be a better route but i belive her religion (if im assuming right) you cant date like we do so at least she can come here freely and marry Edited June 7, 2016 by Anitafeliz

I don't think that the OP has her GC (green card) and even if she did and it is valid, she is in Pakistan from what I gather and would have to prove her ties to the USA once she comes back to the USA as it has been 8 months. If not there is a good possibility CBP would revoke her GC for abandonment and even if she did prove ties she would need to prove why it was so urgent to go back to Pakistan. Once they find out that she has divorced again they may revoke the GC. There is a very slim chance she may get back in.

Anitafeliz, you're placing way too much emphasis on the religious aspect of things. My husband and I are different religions and cultures and I was asked about this in my K1 interview but it (in no way) affected our eligibility for the visa or any subsequent immigration proceedings.

The reason why is, she already came here once....

Now shes gonna try again with someone else HUGE red flag

Had this been her first try its tricky in a country with high regard for culture and religion to prove a bonifide relationship between a christian and a muslim. I am not talking false either.

Moving forward she has a divorce strike 1 she is from a mena country strike 2 and now shes with someone else???

No my friend i belive in her case being pakistani and muslim will be of GREAT Benefit to her case which is red flag

I for one could careless of religion race or political background im raised im the USA my best friend is from

haiti im dominican that right there says it all!!

She has larger hurdles at least culture and religion wont be in play.

No saying an american cant bring a pakistanian person here but lets face it on a first try it would be looked at never mind second time

Just my opinion

This comment echoes a comment I heard from an immigration lawyer I consulted. If the applicant has entered the US previously on a visa, and then returned to their home country before it expired, that can be a mark in their favor when applying for a subsequent visa. Not sure if this is true, but it was told to me by an experienced immigration attorney.

Leave everything behind? OP herself said that she didn't see any reason herself to stay in the U.S. I admit I too was sorta taken aback by the "he sent me home" comment, but she clearly says "I did not want to stay since I had no reason to stay anymore." Seems as if her decision to leave was of her own volition.

Nice I'm facing a lot of scrutiny over here too You all are right when you say there will be a lot of red flags. however you need to be in my shoes to assess the situation which probably the people granting the visa wont be. when you are alone and the country is new and have an emotional set back you arent really thinking about keeping your green card or making the best use of the situation. Neither did i honestly take it as an opportunity. i came for my husband and he wanted me out that's that. neither did i have any family or friends other than him.

anyway, yes the divorce is done with.
