Divorce Just Granted

Hi Everyone, hope you could help me with our situation here.

My fiance a US citizen was separated from his wife just a few months before we met in February 2016 but didn't file a divorce yet, just filed the divorce last December of 2016. The divorce was just granted last June of this year and we are planning to file for the I129F form this month. I read to some forums and blogs that this is a red flag. What would you suggest that we could about this to make sure that my fiance was not cheating on his ex wife. I would appreciate your responses to this matter. Thank you guys!

Not a major issue, many separated people meet a new loved one before the official divorce is granted.  If you can show they were separated (court docs, different living arrangements etc) it may help.

During our interview (AOS) the interviewer asked how come myself and my now (USC) husband started 'dating' 3 years before my divorce, I explained that in Ireland you have to be separated 4 years before you can apply for Divorce and then that can take a further year. He was happy with that answer. They know a divorce can take time (really long time in Ireland, ha!) and even though they may ask they know it happens all the time.
