Possible problem??

[cherylc522 0]

I am Canadian and my fiance is the USC, when i met my fiance he was still married but had been seperated for 4 years and they just stayed married cause their insurance was cheaper that way and when we met and decided to meet was when they started looking into the divorce. Their divorce did not go through until April 24th 2008, and we filed our I-129f in may, is this going to look bad on us, or cause any problems with paper work or the interview? i just want to be ready for whatever comes up.

NO not at all!!

My husband obtained his divorce from his ex wife in on August 2 2006 and we mailed our petition on the 20th of the same month... It was never mentionned through the process

As long as you are both officially not or un-married at the time the petition is filed and you have proof of it it's good!

yeah happened to me about every 2 days from the day we sent our petition to the day I got my Visa!

Just feel free to ask any questions here whenever you are worried about something and we will take care of it!

Edit : And then you will include in all your conversations " Someone on VJ told me that...." and someday he will be nuts!

Same here - we had just never bothered paying for an actual divorce until it became necessary. There were other reasons that benefited both of us to stay legally married when we did, but we had an unwritten agreement that if either of us needed/wanted the divorce, we'd make it simple, quick and painless. For my personal reasons, I did not want my current husband to even propose *officially* before I was divorced. Our personally history shows that my husband and I met in April 06, my ex and I divorced in Nov 06, my husband proposed in Dec 06, and we were married in May 07.

I don't think, in this day and age, that it really matters how/when/under what circumstances one meets the current spouse. As others said, as long as you were both free to marry (ie: divorced) when you sent in the application, the date of the divorce is irrelevant. You don't have anything to worry about!!

Same here. I was offically divorced in November of 2005. We filed in January. No issues whatsoever.

Cheryl, don't even worry about it!

Nick and I filed for our I-129F the day after I had my divorce papers in hand...we had no problems and I'm moving in 12 (make that 11 ) days.

Don't worry, you'll be fine!

Yup...don't worry about it! We filed about two weeks after my divorce was finalized and I had the certificate in hand. No worries there. Good luck in your process!
