Can I submit I-130 right after getting married?

[ЮлияAndMalachi 4]

Hello, I have a few questions, I have been waiting and finally in the process of divorce from my first wife. While waiting I fell in love and we want to get married, if we get married a few days after my divorce is finalized, will that be a red flag? Also if I submit the I-130/A soon after the marriage would that be a red flag?

 

I would not be in such a rush but we know we want to be married and live together and I want to start the process especially if it takes 8-10 months or longer.

 

Thanks in Advance.

There is no limit to how many times you can get married in Texas. You must divorce your previous spouse before remarrying. After getting divorced, you must wait thirty days or have a judge waive the waiting period before you remarry. As long as you follow these requirements, you can get married as many times as you want and file your I-130.

Oh... I was not aware of the waiting period, so my lawyer said it would be 60 days from the day that file the divorce till it is finalized,  and then I need to wait 30 days unless I get judge to waive the wait? Even getting married in another country?

Yes, its 90 days in total...and am not sure if it applies to marriage in another country. In Taxas, when obtaining your marriage certificate you will be asked  categorically if you have divorced  in the last 30 days. However, if 30days is too long to wait, you can file K1 next day after divorce....every couple have their own priorities.

Ok, thanks for all the info, I will ask my lawyer if he can get it waived, else I'll wait the 30 days more days. 

 

Any advice on how many proof of relationship for marriage,  I thought it wasn't as many as k1 fiance but I see people submitting a lot of proof.

You didn't mention Texas.  Why are we talking about Texas?  In which state will your divorce actually be granted?

I remarried shortly after I divorced. Immigration wise no problem

 

I was the immigrant that sponsored another immigrant

8-10 months is not a realistic expectation for this process.  Up to two years is more likely.

If OP is marrying overseas, he will not be getting a Texas marriage certificate.

This comment shows that you need to research and read at length about the two processes.  Educating yourself is the key to success.
