Right... Okay...

But for the K1 or CR1 visa it's different, right? I mean, I know I can sponsor him then... But will the process prove to be more difficult then, because he doesn't currently have a job? (Silly question, as I know anyone looks better with money; he will be getting his business license soon, at least, which is good...)

nope. won't matter there

Not an issue. Lots of people sponsor non-working spouses.

jamie916.. You have I think 3 different posts going on, on similar topics.

Based on your posts, your fiance lives in a disputed region of India, tried for a German visa through a German spouse that's in divorce proceedings. You've met him once in Thailand, and asking for the next set of steps.

Before I make a suggestion, be aware of Indian men seeking western women to land a visa. He has no particular ties to his home, is from a marginalized community, looking for down on their luck, not very highly educated, older western women. I'm in no way passing judgement on you, but you fall in that category. He's already lied to you about his age, and kept you away from meeting his family online. These are flags that stand out.

That being said, despite his travel to Thailand which he didn't need a visa for, his chances of a US B2 visa are slim, since he lacks substantial ties to India. A K1, while eligible, would not be easy, would cost months and many hundreds of dollars. If he is really the one for you, your best bet is to go to India.. or a third country once his divorce is final, and get married. You can then petition him for a spousal visa. He's wasting time trying for the B2 visa.

Thank you for your information; I do appreciate it. I used to think the same of him (the whole Eastern man out to get Western woman thing), but have put him through many "tests" (which I won't go into now) these past six months to seek out who he truly is. And every time I've doubted him, he's proven me wrong in some way or another. I've read of many "horror stories" about these things before--even in relation to Kashmiri men specifically--and trust me: It is scary to think that they happen; I don't know what I would do if it happened to me. But despite my being of a "lower education level," I am not stupid and am taking every step possible to ensure that I don't fall into "that category." I am always investigating. Lol. So unless I find some good, hard evidence against him, I'll keep fighting...

lack of a job on a K1 or CR1 would be of no concern I think, he would be giving up a job to come here on either visa

Sorry to say...but if the USCIS find out about his previous marriage to a foreigner woman..they will think he is doing all this for immigration purpose. Previous marriage with a German woman but the visa didn't work out and now with America woman. You will need a lot of evidence to convince them because the USCIS will not want you to fall to a victim. You will need to travel to India and meet with his family, take a lot of pictures with his family and friends....applying for a B2 visa is not an option. The CR1 will be the best option. Remember you need a lot of evidence to convince them...because it will look like a marriage fraud to them....best of luck

Also, I have since spoken to an immigration attorney from a very reputable law office (Maney Gordon, referred to me by the woman mentioned above, fighting the same battle with husband in India), and the attorney told me that his past denials should/will not have any barrier on his future application here in the US. She says they may ask about it during the interview process, but that each application is unique unto itself.

Transborderwife and afortunada,

I did some research and you are wrong:

http://www.***removed***/visitor-visa/can-usa-visitors-visa-be-sponsored.html

Not a very reliable link.. it caters to an India-centric audience, an unofficial site that plays loose with words. 

You might be better served reviewing official State Dept website contents here.
