    Congrats to both of you!
    Looked at your timeline. Had your wife waited for a month to arrive in the US, you could have avoided the ROC hoopla.

    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.

    Just remember anytime an immigration benefit is obtain through a USC. This is your situation exactly. There will be extra scrutiny.
     
    Divorce just four months after naturalizing then petitioning a spouse will raise flags. There has been many thread on here that discuss the 5 yr wait to be able to petition a spouse when you naturalized through a USC. Might want to look into this.

    portorusa got a reaction from Blessed diva in VAWA GC Citizenship interview   
    My friend had her citizenship interview based on VAWA recently. It lasted about 25 min. The questions from the application, Do you have children? Where do you work? Do you file taxes? Have you been involved in terrorism? etc. Then 6 civic questions (from the 100 questions list). Then to write a sentence in English. Excellent, thank you, you are approved, wait for the ceremony invitation in the mail.

    If it's within 2 years since I-130 was approved, then OP can save $535 and just ask USCIS to re-start Consular processing based on the same initial petition for the immediate relative of a U.S. citizen. I-130 is valid 2 years.

    Count 3 years forward from the date of the GC and count 3 months back = the date to file N400.

    Next step is to contact USCIS (as indicated in the Embassy's email). 
    Depending on what your intentions are, it might be time to hire an immigration lawyer, as well.
    Good luck!

    portorusa reacted to coniefl in No money for parents = divorce and baby to Honduras   
    Does she have a job?
    My brother married a woman from Brazil, but not with a fiance visa. His wife works and sends some of the money back to Brazil to her poor mother, so I think sending money to parents for support maybe normal for some countries. But the key thing here is that she has a job and uses the money that she makes to send to her mother. So if your wife does not have a job and is so concerned about sending money to her parents, she should get a job and not demand it from you.

    portorusa reacted to aaron2020 in Quickest way to get my would be wife here from Vietnam?   
    Hi,
     
    You have to meet in person before you can do anything about bringing her to the US to live.  After meeting, you can petition to bring her here as your fiancee or marry and bring her here as your wife.  

    Nothing about US immigration is quick or cheap.   It will take at least a year or two for you to bring her to the US.  There's no way around this.  Everyone waits.
     
    Vietnam is a high fraud country.  Marrying on the first visit is not recommended.  You will need to make several trips before marrying. 

    Vietnam has closed its borders since March 2020.  Right now, they are having their biggest COVID wave.  You are not going to get a visitor visa for this December.  I know dual Vietnamese/US citizens who have waited for almost two years for Vietnam's borders to open up.  The earliest you will get to Vietnam is Summer 2022 if we're lucky.  

    If you're not computer savy and can't navigate a DIY website, then it might be best to hire an experienced immigration attorney.

    Best of luck.

    To say that ‘they are Russian’ and that’s why ‘they spend spend spend and not worry what anything costs’ is absurd. It has nothing to do with where they are from, it’s a personality trait lol. This is coming from another Russian obviously

    VAWA petition CAN be filed from outside of the US provided the abuse happened in the US. The questions to OP regarding her intentions are unethical, IMHO. She asked if she can file VAWA, and the answer is YES.
    The burden to prove cohabitation is still on OP though.
