Things are not looking good. Should we be divorce,  I don't wanna around . Am a stronger believer in marriages. 

Should our marriage end, I wanna look for a wife to continue my life. However am not sure where on earth my next wife might come from.

 

My question is  should my new wife be out of status or outside of the US, am I eligible to petition for her since am already a US citizen without any issue? 

These last paragraphs are a contradiction by themselves. You’re a stronger believer in marriages, but you are wanting to end it because in the last two weeks she hasn’t been behaving the way you want her to? 🤨 yeah no, that’s not how a marriage works. You don’t get to dictate how the other person behaves. 
And why are you even thinking of a next wife, and more specifically, why are you worried about where your new wife is from? And why are you worried about her immigration status?

 

You already know the other person.

There’s a maturity needed to be.married. It’s not like seeing the latest TV in Best Buy and insisting on throwing out the old one so to buy the new one. My wife lost her equally paid  job during covid and that put us under immense pressure but the situation brought us closer and not me looking for a new partner. She needed me to be there for her during that low period of her life more than anytime of our marriage. 
 

Do what you need to do to make your marriage financially happy: buy or rent a cheaper home, switch energy suppliers,  cut back on unnecessary spending, do whatever. In the long run, when she’s ready to work again you’ll both be glad you did. 
 

Oh yeah, nice touch bringing in an immigration question to what is essentially a relationship issue.

@Free Man, I think your wife needs to join us here for this conversation.

I got my citizenship last year in October through Marriage.  Last month i.got promoted and now make double what my wife makes. 

Unfortunately, my wife decided to leave her job and for the last few weeks, I have been paying all the bills and this is too much. I have complained but to no avail. 

Am grateful to my wife because I got citizenship through her but the truth is I cannot continue paying the bills 100%. 

Things are not looking good and am thinking of divorce.  This is a hard decision for me and I know she may feel that I used her for papers but that is not true. If she decide to get a job and help with the bills am ready to stay in the Marriage. 

My heart is bleeding as am writing this. We bought a house and bought 2 vehicles together.

I’m sorry to call this what it is. You actually used her. For you to just want to leave the marriage after a year of having your citizenship and making more money, and for you to already be asking about a new wife and immigration for the new future spouse, you already had everything planned out.

Lol this is funny. So, are the number of bills going to be less once you divorce your wife and petition a new one?

Exactly, plus OP went from saying that his heart was bleeding to counting how many vehicles they’d bought together😂

The answer to your question is yes, you are free to divorce and move on with your life and petition whoever you want with no consequence to yourself.

If you can’t support your wife now, you’re not enough of a man to petition for the next one.  So no loss to her either.  You want to petition and support an immigrant you better prepare yourself to go all in on it.  Like your wife probably did for you.  
Welcome to America and get ready for the alimony payments after you file LOL.  Supporting both is going to be a hard lesson 😂 and some of us have been there and done that.

Since this is about money look up the phrase “it’s cheaper to keep her” and start a dissertation on it. Any of you ladies offended by that accept my apologies.

twice as much money and can't support her?

leave the house 

see a divorce attorney

be prepared to pay alimony and still be responsible to mortgage company for the house u bought together /not paying for this will ruin your credit

 

New wife?   u will not be able to afford one 

not with the cost of the house ,  an apartment to live in (all your new bills), the alimony ,  a trip to marry a new wife,  the immigration fees

 

YEAH WOW

 

no one has to stay married but no way can u afford what u plan to do

and it takes 2 years or more to go thru the process for a new spousal visa /about the same with a K1

and chances this could be denied?    very high

 

BTW   if there is any way this new woman and u were already married when u go the CR1 to come,  that is marriage fraud and grounds for citizenship to be reoked

 

Another way in which an immigration application based on marriage will be considered fraudulent is if it isn't legally valid. Say, for example, that you are already married to another person, and were never able to get a legal divorce. Even if you truly love your new spouse, this current marriage is invalid. Applying for U.S. lawful permanent residence (a green card) on the basis of an invalid marriage is, indeed, considered fraudulent. Even if you get away with it in the short term, your green card and eventual U.S. citizenship could be taken away on the basis of this fraud.

I now work 7 days a week to pay our bills. I recommended seeing a therapist she refused. So yes am very frustrated 

You are the man you are supposed to take care of the household not her. Also when you get ur new wife she will not be working for a couple of years. Thirdly, when you divorce, your wife will get spousal support from you. That is good for her. 

[Marieke H 2,324]

Okay, I read everything so now I'm judging.

 

It seems like your decision to divorce your wife is purely a financial decision. You'll be surprised when you find out how much you will have to continue to pay her after divorcing her. And then supporting another immigrant will be very expensive too. If your decisions are only driven by financial reasons, the best thing to do would be to support your wife, help her find a new job when she's ready, and work on your marriage. 

 

But if you already have a new wife lined up, that's a different story of course.

[African Zealot 1,453]

Before I join the band wagon of condemnation, may I ask who was financing the family when you were undocumented? Was she financing the entire household expenses.

 

Your wife’s behavior is unreasonable and I will not condemn you for being upset. Nevertheless I think you’ve accelerated from 0 to 100mph too fast. Get some counseling and intervention. If after that she refuses to see reason, I can’t argue with your position.

 

To answer your question, will it look callous to outsiders like myself? Absolutely! The rationale and convenient timing (right after getting citizenship) etc makes it look cold and calculated.

 

Can you petition for a foreign spouse? Yes, I suspect that’s your true motivation 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[Carpe Vinum 2,310]

Yes, you have the same rights as any other US citizen to sponsor someone for marriage if you get divorced. A simple Google search would have told you this. It would have saved you the beating you are getting here ;-))))

This is nothing compared to what’s waiting in “family” court 

Dude needs to work it out if he really feels the way he feels because this isnt going to solve his money problems.

From your first post, it seems like you have no intention to work it out, only to leave her as she is not working (only few weeks? sucks to be her dude). I have to question why people get married?.

 

This is one of the reasons why Uscis works hard to weed out fraud in the system, yet everyone say USCIS is incompetent while processing applications. Between Oct and Jan was only 3 months and you have decided to forgo the marriage and think of marrying again. Your intentions are clear as sun rises in the east.

 

 

You should divorce her, pay her alimony, trash your credit as housing market is in the dumps and you are on the hook for the mortgage while she has no job. Her credit will be ruined and so will be yours as creditors will hound you for the payment. if you have kids, then its whole different ball game.
