Are there concerns?

[Perplexedone 0]

Hi all,

Excited to find this forum to discuss my concerns- 

I'm 44 from usa, fiance is 25 from philippines. 

we met via a dating app and fell for each other and have been together for 10 months now (engaged after 7).

I travel a lot for fun and for work all over the world. I was married 4 years ago briefly (she came in on a K-3 visa) with an indian girl but things quickly did not work out, it was a brief marriage). 

My question is, do I have to note on the i129 the USCIS number from previous (K3)?  

How do I ensure we don't have any issues? I love my fiance very much so and want to start my life with her already. 

Many thanks,

Have you already met the fiance in person? 

 

I'm assuming you sponsored the ex-wife? You should be fine since it was 4 years ago. Just read and follow the directions on the form. I don't believe you have notate the number from the previous visa, but it should ask if you've sponsored others in the past. (just read through everything carefully) 

 

You shouldn't have any issues, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine the previous marriage could be asked about, but just be honest and like I said 4 years ago definitely helps. 

 

The age gap also may be asked about, but the Philippines sees it quite a bit, so just be prepared for it in case it comes up. (your fiance more so than you, since she'll be doing the interview)

If it was brief presumably she did not immigrate.

He said "she came in on a K-3"

 

If you remember or have the prior A# then you need to list it. You can call USCIS and ask them if they can provide it to you if you no longer have the papers just be prepared to answer some basic questions about her and be prepared to be on hold for a while.

K3 took nearly a year, would have taken probably another one if she had adjusted so seems unlikely.

Hi all, 

Thanks for your replies. 

Yes, we have met in person, 4 times in the past 10 months. And I will document this when sending K1. 

Regarding my ex and the divorce, she initially was going to try to get alimony from me/ until she was hired for a lucrative computer programming job. 

Then my lawyer said she has to pay us and so we we settled, provided I was labeled as the 'defendant' on the divorce. My lawyer mentioned that it doesn't make a difference who is the def/ or plaintiff, but when I see the divorce decree it makes it appear like she served me with papers.  I just pray this isn't looked unfavorably- she was not cool, and it was completely rushed.
