I think you are missing the point...

 

The start time of your relationship is not the biggest issue (people start new relationships while still married). The timeline and your possible cooperation in misrepresentation in your ex-partners case is the issue. If you file a new petition for your current partner and you have to disclose previous petitions, you might end up opening that can of worms.. 

I mean, I get what you trying to say. There nothing much I can do. If I have to disclose it I just have to tell the truth, there no way lying around it. Worst case scenario, I’ll move to Vietnam and work and we just have to give up on the American dream, I cannot do anything else about this.

From my experience with Vietnam, I would focus on future meetings. Go to VN, take photos of you together at well-known landmarks (Saigon River; Hanoi's Old Quarter, Nha Trang beach, etc.). Pics with VN family and friends. Keep your receipts/tickets (flight, hotels, etc.). Take some screen-shots of Skype or other chat logs - don't overdo it. Just have records that you talk, email, etc. Records of sending money - Western Union, etc. - can look suspicious. You supporting her is not part of the K-1; being able to support her in America is. I hope you have a decent job and don't need a sponsor. The simpler it is, the better. Have good income and tax records (3 years and current). From what we hear, things appear to be getting tougher in Vietnam. It's never easy b/c of high-fraud country. Just show that you have met, shared time traveling in VN, met family, etc. No need to "front load" as people like to say here. Just give them what they ask. Go to the interview in VN. That's extremely important. When they interviewed me, they thanked me for being at the interview. Every single American man that was at the consulate was successful for his significant other. Can't say the same for the women who were alone, and walked away crying - alone. I think they have a harder time turning down an American that shows up at the interview. Anyway, go to the interview. Good luck!

best advice right here to give you.

Yeah we were married. To be honest, I think that what get me. I will wait to rebuild my new relationship and start the process over counting this point. Thank everyone for advice. 

I think I have my answer, thank you everyone for contributing.

Okay. Thought you already remarried.

 

International Student from?

 

Try to be country specific as it helps to get better answers for your case. 

Reason why I ask is because there are individuals from some high fraud countries.

Also from Vietnam. She was international student for 4 years before we married

Hold on....did you marry before your just concluded divorce was finalized or this was just a hypothetical question?

No. We did not marry yet. We met during the time I was separated with my ex-wife and now I’m planning to marry her and bring her here.

Where's your new love from?

Where's your ex-wife from?

My ex-wife was a international student.

My love is from Vietnam. 

Yes it was a 3 year rules.

so this is my biggest issue is to explain this while I still meeting my new wife.

what if I submit the petition for my new wife in a 1 year time line after my divorce? Would that be more helpful?

Will it affect your new process? I don't know.. You mention having all the proof etc. so it does not have to be a deal breaker.

 

I do have to admit that the timeline with your ex-spouse (and your explanation) does stand out to me. You were already separated for a long time and you even started dating somebody else you now want to petition, yet still filed together and did not divorce until after your ex-spouse became a citizen. If I were a CO, I would think you were just helping somebody getting a GC and Citizenship (so this looked more like a business transaction).. Your ex- partner would have been able to do all that without having to stay married to you, maybe it would take longer to apply for citizenship for example but still..

I am not judging or accusing you of anything, please don't get me wrong.. It is always good to have people look at your case objectively because this is also how a CO might look at it so this is why I am giving you my view.

 

I wish you good luck! 

Thank you for giving me your point of view. I appreciate it.

Yeah I have to admit that my timeline is little bit off. We were physically separated after she already submitted her “removal of conditioned resident” form. So after we separated, I do not want to explain anything to the USCIS. We were remained separated but not divorce because the nature of my schooling and we were not financially stable there to afford a divorce. I just agree to sign her naturalization petition after that but we still remain separated. My lawyer said that if she is willing to sign a affidavit explaining the timeline of our relationship, that could be helpful.

I just want some honest point of view and suggestion on what else should I do to make it works.  Thank you. 

I hope someone can help me with this question if they in the same situation or similar.

I married with my ex-spouse in 2014, we been living together for 2 years, then in 2016, due to differences, we separated and I move to a different state to pursue my career and new life. (only in term of physical separation, no legal process involved). Then I agree to file a joint petition with her for her permanent citizenship and naturalization after that. During that time, I meet someone abroad and fall in love, and we been dating since 2017.

Now, after a lengthy process of divorce, our marriage end in July 2019, after she get her naturalization and become US citizen. And I decided to get marry with my new spouse abroad and sponsor her here. My ex-wife is willing to sign a notarized affidavit said that we are physically separated in 2016. 

Will this affect my process of sponsoring to my new spouse? I have all the evidences prove that the relationship with my ex-spouse was entered in good faith in the past, and I have all the evidence also prove that the relationship with my new-spouse is also in good faith.
