Hi guys, my situation is a little strange and I hope I am posting in the right forum.

So, I married my spouse several years ago, and she is now a permanent resident. We separated a year or two later, our marriage just didn't work out.

I've worked overseas for a few years and met another woman and our relationship has become very serious. I have a few questions....: since i am still my wife's sponsor, if we get a divorce, can I sponsor a new spouse?

If not, how do I withdraw my affidavit of support? If I do withdraw my affidavit of support, can I then sponsor a new spouse? Will this look suspicious to USCIS for me to have sponsored two people?

Yes, you can sponsor another spouse. No, you cannot withdraw the affidavit of support.

Are they from the same country? A quick divorce and remarriage may look suspicious and like trafficking so be aware. You also would be required to have your household count + your ex spouse on the new affidavit. For example your new spouse, you and ex so 3 plus any minor children

No they are not from the same country. Is my situation fairly common? What is the likelihood of this new petition being denied due to my previous petition?

There's quite a few on here who have done it. Just be prepared with ample proof of your relationship

If you are referring to Affidavit of Support form 1-864 required for AOS, yes you can sponsor another K-1 beneficiary, and no, you cannot withdraw the first Affidavit from your current wife. In fact, your responsibility as sponsor lasts until on of these occur; your wife becomes a U.S. citizen, has earned 40 work quarters credited toward Social Security (a work quarter is about three months, so this means about 10 years of work), permanently leaves the United States, or dies.

Like others had said, divorcing and getting married fairly quick doesn't necessarily means a denial, but it might raise a red flag, so be prepared for this and submit plenty of evidence with your petition. If I were you, I type a letter clearly explaining the circumstances and include it with the petition. Good luck to you.
