According to the state department website at this link. Underneath the "What is a Fiance" section it says that "Both the U.S. citizen and the K-1 visa applicant must have been legally free to marry at the time the petition was filed and must have remained so thereafter."

Where you sign the I-129f form it says in the YOUR CERTIFICATION section that "I am legally able to and intend to marry my alien fiance within 90 days of his or her arrival in the United States.

So is it okay to sign the I-129f before your previous divorce is final but not file it until after you are legally free to marry. Since what you signed said that you would be able to marry within 90 days of your fiance's arrival.

This may seem like a stupid response to your question but...

Why can't you wait and sign it afterwards?

It makes a lot more sense, especially if you're not going to file it until later anyways.

Besides, I wouldn't sign/date it before the date of the divorce.

It's bound to raise eyebrows.

Two Cats. Actually the divorce is final. Here is a better way of explaining it. In the state I live in there is a cooling off period after you get divorced where you are not allowed to marry anyone else. Therefore you are not legally able to remarry. So say I am not legally able to remarry until April 1, but I have to go overseas before then. Can I sign the papers before April 1 and then have a friend send them in for me on after the cooling off period is over and I am legally able to remarry.
