Chances of bringing another spouse after divorce

[Quaksaphya 0]

Hello family 

I will like to know how possible it is to file for a new spouse after one failed marriage. I filed for my ex husband using the fiancé visa 3 years ago n after we got married things went bad and he started abusing me physically. I divorced him quickly because the abuse was getting out of hand. I then met my new husband now and we got married last year. I would like to know my chance filing for him and bringing him to the states

You can get married, file for a visa, divorce them, and repeat that 10 times. USCIS would love to get the fees. It's up to USCIS to approve the visa based on the evidence you provide. Chance of filing: 100% - you can do that. Bringing him to the States: 50% chance of success.

This is a husband and not a fiance. As you you two are officially married?

 

You will be able to apply for spousal visa but there may be some further review of your current relationship depending on a few variables like length of time knowing each other and such. If he is from Ghana, then that may add some level of difficulty because Ghana is not an easy embassy to deal with. 

 

Also, if you are thinking about the K3 visa, forget about it (it is obsolete). You will need to file for a CR1 visa.

And if you're still the sponsor of the first husband, don't forget to add him on the i-864 too.

Moved from K3 Process & Procedures to IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures.

Thank you for all the responses. I really appreciate this.

You can file for him just like you did for your ex-husband; same process; might come with additional scrutiny from CO but don't sweat it; just make sure your petition is solid on it's totality and evidence. Unfortunately, you are still on hook for your ex's affidavit of support.

Shouldn’t be an issue at all.  Previous spouse has to be added later on the support affidavit but that’s it unless you have “relationship overlap” to explain.

Thank you for your response. I started the new relationship months after my ex and I split

Thank you for the response. I was so worried. Now I have hope 😀

Alright thank you. But can you please explain the K3 visa and CR1 visa for me? I thought they are the same 

Looks like I’m still hooked to him. That’s sad

Thank you for your response. It’s quiet unfortunate I’m still hooked to that man

They are different. About the K-3: "This visa category is intended to shorten the physical separation between the foreign-citizen and U.S. citizen spouses by having the option to obtain a nonimmigrant K-3 visa overseas and enter the United States to await approval of the immigrant visa petition. K-3 visa recipients subsequently apply to adjust status to a permanent resident (LPR) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) upon approval of the petition." https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-spouse-k-3.html The CR-1 is different because you are a LPR upon entry with the CR-1. The K-3 is very rare; in fiscal year 2019 only five were issued worldwide. One in Tegucigalpa: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/MonthlyNIVIssuances/October 2018 - NIV Issuances by Post and Visa Class.pdf Page 95

And four in Ciudad Juarez:

Note that USCIS does not approve visas.  Getting the petition approved by USCIS is the easy part.  If both husbands are from Ghana, expect considerable extra scrutiny at the Consulate level.

You are correct. It's up to USCIS ($535) to approve the visa petition and then send it to NVC ($445).  The consular officer is the one who approves the visa.
