I real need your advise and to know my options

[W H C 0]

It all started when i went to the embassy to register my daughter's birth and i found out that my divorce decree that i presented had a problem which affected my present marriage causing it not to be valid. How ever immediately after that i wen to the court and a clerk assist me and took it to the judge which attached a letter explained what had happen which also allowed my present marriage to be valid. How ere i took it back tot he embassy to give them the updated information. But my wife and i found out yesterday at her immigrant visa interview that our marriage was not valid due to the decree and that we were supposed to wait until a few w week before getting married. We have now approached the Lawyer which is preparing a document to facilitate the decree but will not support the marriage. We need help since we were ignorant to the fact that we could not have gotten marriage before . WE would also like to know since we have to present info if the visa would still be granted. Even thow we were told to re marry

I would imagine that the visa you have now would be affected, as you were to be properly married prior to requesting it.

Good thing you have a lawyer working on it.

Since the embassy has stated it's not valid (your marriage), even though you took them updated info, that isn't a good sign.

You may have to start the whole visa process over again, unless your lawyer can convince them to allow this one through.

You have to be LEGALLY married at the time of filing with USCIS. Plain and simple no matter what, I learned that!!!!

You will most likely start all over, Ive been there and done that.

Do yourself a favor, file a K1 petition, you more then qualify and will probely be faster then the CR-1 visa. I wish we had instead of re-marring like we did. Its not the end of the world my Dear, I know, Ive been to hell and back with USCIS and still going thru it. You can get thru this!!!

My story is a bit different, but with mine and WHC story is the fact is fact, married was not valid at the time of filing with USCIS. Mistake or no mistakes. USCIS has no mercy on a little terrible mistake by the filing parties or the courts. He can overcome this, its not over WHC, it not over Dearheart!!!

dates are important...when was the dissolution of your previous marriage, and when did you get married (or better said, when was your 2nd marriage registered). If your second marriage was registered before you were officially divorced...then your current marriage is nullified. In fact, as you were not free to marry, your petition (the I-130) was filed without basis and becomes null and void...so it may be that you would have to start all over again and file a new I-130. Again, it depends on your dates.
