  1. Fiancé was told he failed his medical yesterday due to the fact that the Dr. felt he had a problem with alcohol based on a 2007 conviction of DUI. He was told the exam would be sent to the embassy in London. His interview is 3/19- is the failed medical an automatic visa rejection? I can’t find any concrete answers to my question or anyone who has been through this. We have a lawyer who is researching but just wondering if anyone has been through this?
  2. Thank you, W199! This is exactly what we're doing. An annulment in FL takes 30-45 days and I filed today. We have until 1/8/24 to respond.
  3. So, I have no idea how to reply to each responder (this is like a forum from 1995!) Anyway: 1) My first husband and I got a LEGAL divorce last year 2022 after my lawyer suggested our first Mexican divorce was invalid and just to be safe. This documentation was submitted with the K-1 application. 2) After some research since the RFE, we have established that the Mexican divorce is in fact invalid. See Mexican Embassy Guidance. My first husband and I were never residents in Mexico nor were we in Mexico when the decree was issued. It was all done online. 3) The UK, when contacted regarding my partner's marital status, of course saw that he is listed as married as THEIR government allowed me a spousal visa when I lived there. We submitted a lengthy explanation for all of this with the K-1, but the RFE is demanding proof that my partner is legally permitted to marry. 4) An annulment is allowed as proof that the marriage is null/void and in FL where I live, this takes about 30-45 days. I'm hoping this resolves the issues and satisfies their requirements. Who knows? Maybe I will end up in jail for bigamy. Only time will tell.
  4. I am the petitioner...my fiance is the beneficiary from the UK. We hired an immigration lawyer last year after a horrible issue with Boundless that set us way back. I won't go into it because it has nothing to do with this. Anyway- in 2014, my first husband and I filed and were granted a Mexican divorce because we were both living in the UK and it was the quickest way to get it completed. I was sent the divorce decree in Spanish and in English. After the divorce, I met and married a British man. The UK granted me a spousal visa based on the Mexican divorce which THEY deemed legal. My "husband" and I lived there as husband and wife for 7 years and then I moved back to the US for work thinking we could just submit a greencard application. After our lawyer went through all of the paperwork, he advised us that it was very likely, "almost certain" that the US would not consider the Mexican divorce legal especially considering we did it all online and we're present in Mexico. He advised that I get a divorce from my ex husband in the state I live, re-marry my (what I thought was my husband) and apply for the greencard OR apply for the K-1 and marry once granted. We chose the K-1 route because it is quicker (or so we were told) Our lawyer submitted the K-1 application in October 2022. Over the weekend, we received an RFE for proof of my husband's divorce (TO ME), which of course we don't have. My lawyer has not gotten back to me yet with anything other than, "I will respond and discuss with you before I submit." Is this just a matter of explaining as I just did? I cannot get divorced because the UK sees me as having been married up until last year to my EX and in the UK, they show me as being married to my current partner for 7 years. I guess the good news is that I have a (very expensive) lawyer, but I'm just worried of the person reviewing our file. Do you think we are doomed and will be denied?
