even I thought of her because since she is older than me and also since she was married and divorced (with divorce certificate) I think it is better to get married and file the CR1 after my analysis

Does she have children?

Are you already married? If so, you will be doing a CR1/IR1 visa, not a K1.

Which is fine to give a friendly heads up if that is an actual issue. But not treat it as some crime or red flag because person who might not be well versed in nuances of USA bureaucracy used cultural

Just so you know this sort of situation is not normal in the US so you will inevitably attract extra scrutiny.

The best way to combat red flags is to spend a LOT of time together after marriage (if seeking a spousal visa).  Any chance the family would re-locate to your country?

This is going to be a long process.

La meilleure façon de lutter contre les drapeaux rouges est de passer BEAUCOUP de temps ensemble après le mariage (si vous cherchez un visa de conjoint). Y at-il une chance que la famille déménage dans votre pays ?  

Je ne pense pas que nous pourrons être ensemble de temps en temps puisqu'elle travaille aux USA et il y a celui de 9 ans qui va à l'école et les 2 autres travaillent donc je ne pense pas que cette option sera possible
