Divorcing one woman and K1 for the other

[chelseafc 0]

Currently I am in the process of divorcing my wife from Japan. She went back to Japan last year and I recently filed for divorce in DC. However, I met someone new also from Japan. So I want to bring her here as soon as possible. Do I have to finish my divorce before I request a K1? How long does a K1 request take? If you have any advice about divorcing and remarrying I would appreciate it. Thanks

Yes you have to be divorved first! .. Then you can file another k1 petition.

How long have you been separated and was it voluntary or involuntary? Check DC divorce laws. There are timelines based on your situation. Also, are you filing in absence, any property to divide, etc, etd. This might take 1 year to finalize divorce and then you can file for K-1

What's the hurry?

def a red flag to divorce and refile for another fiance from the same country

[lost_at_sea 995]

To file the I-129f you must be free to marry, so, yes, you need to be divorced and a copy of your divorce decree will need to be included in your I-129f package.

Eyebrows will be raised due to the quick turnaround of a second I-129f application, so ensure your relationship evidence is solid.

Yeah relationship is solid, I will finalize the divorce asap. I was just slow to do so because i was very busy for some months, i've settled my life where i dont have to work so much anymore so i can be there for my spouse. i visited my fiance and her family in july, so its not fake, we've been talking for a while, she's beautiful and 23 i mean it could not be a scam on my end lol. She is such a wonderful person i cant imagine anyone thinking i would want anything from her other then marriage. I am not hideous but i mean, i am seriously upgrading here. My previous wife had many many family difficulties during the period when we were married, and i was overworked so i could not show or offer enough support. I also did not effectively show how concerned i was about her family, she thought i was selfish and to be honest i was selfish with my spending during that period.

so yeah, i appreciate the amazon prime comment. the world is a cruel place, but my employees deal with people, i just take/spend their money lol.

You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. Don't take the comments personally either, everyone has opinions around here. Lol, It wouldn't be VJ without them. As long as you know and can prove your relationship is legitimate and genuine you should be fine. I would advise if you have only made 1 visit, possibly try and make another soon. The more time together the better. As stated, some states do make you wait a year. Check your state to see if that's the case for the divorce. Also you will need a divorce decree to file as well. Good luck!

A short gap between divorce and new filing will be scrutinized at the embassy level.

A divorce decree in hand is needed before filing.

ok i will try to get her to visit me in september then. she has to work until then. i went to tokyo in july for a week and i went to istanbul two weeks ago for hair and oral surgery (hair was getting thin missing from scalp. i was in a bomb blast last year so my face/jaw/teeth was disfigured some. the hair surgery there is good and inexpensive, they covered everything well ). She agreed to marry me before i fixed my face and hair, so i am very happy to marry her. her family was ok with me too i am actually glad my wife left me so i could focus on my recovery (jaw was wired and eyes had surgery last year as well). wife lost all respect for me because i was working alot in dangerous areas, i was not the "gentleman" i guess she thought i was, she constantly saw me returning from war zone etc with injury and my behavior was not normal at that time. i was unable to show empathy or compassion because of my job. also that time i was showing some ptsd and i was violent to other people even outside of war zones (not to her).

the new woman has given me new eyes on the world, she likes natural beauty so we will spend more time in a natural environment, like outdoors. even though i live in a large city now, she is looking forward to staying with me. currently, i am ok no problems with sleeping or ptsd or anger issues. now my business has me talking to many normal people so its good rehab, i am trying to improve my thinking about people and the world.

I could well be wrong but I read that as your wife getting the hump over you not giving her family money?

What is it with cultures/people who think that just because they marry someone from the US then that person has to finance their entire families lifestyle forever.

While it's a nice thing to be able to help out family members it should never be a make or break factor in a marriage.

I always thought that marriage was for love, not for money.

Especially when the spouse is from a wealthy country.

the biggest red flag is your timeline to marry

you met this new woman while still married to the other wife

we look to having sincere feelings on VJ and understand the wait is hard

but in your case immigraiton is going to have many issues on your decision to marry a new one while still married

and visiting her while still married?????

as for your face, it will heal with good success / I say this as mine was destroyed in a school bus accident and i needed cornea transplant, nose rebuilt, ear sewed back on and 7 skin grafts / so, if you are still healing, there is so much they can do for you

the best of luck in this

and your Visa journey

just be prepared for the scrutiny
