My husband and I got married a couple of months ago in Las Vegas. We paid the chapel an extra fee and had our marriage certificate back the next day. He was on VWP when we got married. He went back to his country a month later and then I filed the petition. Nothing illegal about this as he went home and we are going through consular processing. I talked to several lawyers before doing this and there is no law against it.

If it were me, I would not quit the job til after she gets here. I personally think it looks better to have tenature at your place of employment as it displays stability. I've wanted to change jobs for awhile now but am holding back til we finish the process because of this. Could you transfer to a different department or location? Or just reduce the hours there and pick up more in exchange at the other job? Ultimately the choice is completely up to you, I'm just trying to give you a different perspective and options.

in my opinion, no news is good news so far. USCIS is notoriously slow, no matter what center is handling your case. I believe the current processing time is up to 14 months. I would contact them to inquire about your case when the 14 months is up. How did you file your petition? Did you do it yourself or did you retain the services of an attorney? The fact that you had previously petitioned for your ex-husband will more than likely be a red flag. I am sorry that he was a cheating dirt bag by the way. And depending on the age gap, that might also be considered a red flag as well. I have a large age gap with my husband as well so I went above and beyond to submit as much evidence of our bona-fide marriage as possible to over shadow that red flag. The best advice I can give is to remain calm, don't stress out and follow up with USCIS. This whole process is stressful enough without us adding to it. Whenever you start to stress just remember that you aren't alone in the process and that us here on this form are going through it with you. Best Wishes
