You can petition for someone else, you will have to count your ex as part of the affidavit of support until she becomes a citizen or works 40 quarters. My question is, if you are so heartbroken, why are you looking for someone else already? Give yourself some time to heal. And perhaps try to find a US citizen so you don't have to go through the hassle a second time. Good luck

I'm not looking. i just feel not only heart-broken, but powerless. It would bring me some comfort to know that I can still bring someone to live with me here, if i ever do find another girl that I actually want to marry.

Also, more questions... how will I ever know what she does, as far as working 40 quarters or applying for citizenship? Can she still apply for citizenship? Does it matter who files for divorce? Should I make her file?

Hi all. I've been lurking this forum for a few years. But right now I'm not finding the answers I'm looking for. Maybe I already know, but I really want to check in and see what others have to say.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I petitioned for alien fiance in 2010. She (russian) was granted a K1 visa and we married shortly after. She got her green card and just at the mark of ROC, she wants a divorce. Her 10 year card is still in the mail and hasn't even arrived yet.

I'm pretty sure she entered the relationship in good faith, otherwise she is one heck of an actress. But as soon as she filed for the 10 year card, she put her foot down and told me to fill out the divorce papers. So I guess that's that... she doesn't want to work on fixing our relationship, even though it's not broken, and would rather run off to a new life and a different guy. I feel not only heartbroken (like you can't imagine, or maybe can...) but I also feel ripped off, kinda. Like she gets to stay and run off to a new life, and I get stuck being her sponsor hoping she doesn't file for benefits.

I understand I'm stuck with the I-864 deal until she leaves, becomes a citizen, or works for 10 years. So does that mean I have to wait 10 years before I can ever petition for a different fiance? I'm not planning on it, but rather trying to understand what is going on and just how much choice I actually have. And yeah, what if I travel and fall in love with someone from another country? Am I screwed because my first wife decided to leave when it was convenient to her?

I'm thinking that the answer is yes, I can file for another petition, but either need to become filthy rich or have someone co-sponsor the next I-864. Obviously, that's pretty lame because what I thought was the girl of my dream (literally) didn't work out, how can I ask someone to co-sponsor another? such a risky crapshoot this stuff is! Again, I"m not saying this is my plan, just asking what my options are. Otherwise I guess I have to be sure not to fall for anyone other than a U.S. citizen.

thanks for any help. Please let me know if you want more details.
