Thank you - I thought my timeline helped legitimize my request for waiver -   Filed first time in 2004 - married 2005 in US - divorced in 2010 --  filed in 2012 - over 2 years after divorce - the second time - we were married for 5 years as well -- divorcing in 2017 -  Filing now and hope to get married in late 2019 -- From first filing to this one is 15 years - 
 
My past experience has taught me that USCIS is made up of good people, doing their jobs to the best of their abilities.  One of their biggest stated tasks is to find human traffickers, drug smugglers and convicted felons who hurt women.  Based on the other responses from those seeking to offer insight on the subject, USCIS is not going to judge my failed marriages, just judge whether I married in good faith.  I think that will be the focus of their scrutiny.  
 
I really appreciate your feedback, do you still think the timeline will be an issue? and if so, why?  I need to hear good thoughts on the subject to prepare.

No where in my question did I ask for relationship advice.  I don't want to pick a fight with a senior member, but this forum is intended to help people in their "visaJourney".  There are definitely times when asking someone such a loaded question is justified, but honestly, wisdom would dictate that a question like that is best done in private.  
 
If you or anyone here has advice on my question, I will accept it with an open mind, but you crossed a line.  
 

I would suggest you leave out the stuff about how expensive it was to sponsor/ financially care for them during your marriage----that was entirely your choice/responsibility as the petitioner for the two prior women.   It is entirely your choice and responsibility now.
 
Keep in mind that anything "extra/explanation-wise" you put in a written letter can be held against you, and will be on record.  If I was a CO and you mentioned the expense of financially caring for the previous wives, it would lead me to further scrutinize/question how you can afford to financially sponsor the 3rd woman.
 
 
 
 

That's the thing in your favor---USCIS doesn't care why a marriage breaks down, or that it has.  USCIS only cares that the marriage was entered into with bonafide intent.

Just the facts is needed.  Conclude that you do not have any of the "special " crimes under IMBRA nor do you have a pattern of multiple concurrent petitions or a habit of filing and withdrawing petitions every few years and therefore not fitting the profile of a chronic filer.   Its what I did and I was approved. 
 
Make sure your current fiancee is fully aware as it will be asked about at the interview 

The current is my third petition that was just visa approved this week.  First two were Ukraine so this is the first time in Manila 

As I said just the facts.  Petition A was filed in 2004 and then briefly what happened (no fluff, no emotion,  just facts).  Petition B filed in 2006, then again briefly the factual history of immigration result.   K1 received xx, POE date on xx, Green card received on xx with A number etc and remains in country currently.  She never filed for citizenship eventhough is was and still is eligible 

I had a similar situation. I gave a paragraph for each petition I filed with Case #'s, Date or Marriage, Date of Divorce, brief explanation about the circumstances, and why I am eligible for a waiver. 

I have achieved the unfortunate accomplishment of having sponsored 2 women from the Philippines as my fiancee's - married twice and divorced twice.  Well guess what?  I didn't give up on love or filipinas.  I have forgiven myself for the failures and am now engaged to another Filipina.  The waiver process scares the snot out of me.  So my questions:  
1. I filed the first time in 2004-2005 - we were married in 2005 and divorced in 2010. 
2. In 2012 I married another woman who I had sponsored  and we were married from 2012 to 2017.
3. No arrests, no domestic violence - no legal issues at all.
What is the best way to go about asking for a third chance at love?  I understand that my story invites ridicule, but what I am really asking for here is some genuine advice on how to go about seeking a waiver - Thank you!!

I hate to break it to your friend, but if she signed a document that is indeed a marriage certificate in any country, she is legally married in that country.  That would only change how she goes about sponsoring him - she would need to sponsor him on a spouse VISA, not a fiancee VISA.  But she really needs to see if she is the victim of fraud.  Ghana is a hotbed of fraud and deceit.  It seems odd that she went over on vacation, met and had an engagement party and signed legal documents.  I know of no other instance where someone gets engaged in any country and signs official documents, especially if they were marriage documents being masqueraded as "engagement" documents.  How is it that he and his family had "legal documents at all for her to sign?"  She might want to spend a little money on an investigation into her fiancee's past before she agrees to anything else.
 
Her husband says he is coming on a tourist VISA?  I call BS on this person.... getting a tourist VISA from Ghana is a very difficult task and his story is highly suspect - ask her if she is supporting him financially at all?
