free to marry

[Robor007 0]

You know what, am sure am correct on this matter, let everyone choose and pick what to do. This Desert fellow has really changed the whole matter into a series of issues.

This issue is easy and common sense:Once I have a divorce decree, I can file an I-129F immediately, barring anything on the decree to the contrary, because a divorce decree will always say that the marriage is HEREBY DISSOLVED.

What is so hard to understand there? Desertfox and his cheerleaders want us to believe that even if one has a divorce decree that has no restrictions, that they cant marry. What is the reason for the divorce decree then?

While you have a point you are wrong. See here: LINK It clearly states this: "You and your fiancé(e) must be free to marry." He is not legally free to marry so he can't legally file the I-129F.

I think it's BS that he's gotta wait 6 months when he's legally divorced but that's the law. It, like much in the immigration process, totally sucks!

I would think anyone with half a brain would carefully consider ALL information given, especially the advice of an attorney, as well as opinions (and, plainly stated, that's all they are) before making such a decision.

You are right in your thinking BUT you can't control the behavior of forum readers. Believe me I've seen 'em rip in here screaming for answers and roar right back out. That may be an extreme statement, but you know how some people are. Perhaps it's just as simple as they believe everything they read on the internet.

Hello forum I am back. If you took to trouble to glance thru this thread you would know that I was required by the state I live in to wait an additional 6 months after my divorce was final to be considered free to marry. That 6 month wait is now over so today I mailed off to Nebraska my I-129f. It is truly a joyous day. And to those who say that my wait as only just begun I would say to them that it is half over with already!

I know that I cannot remarry for six months anywhere in the world. This is the price I pay for getting a divorce in Wisconsin. It would seem that I would have to wait for six months to submit a I-129f. I guess I will try and find a definitive answer from a lawyer. Anyone have any links to one? Almost all states have some sort of waiting period after divorce, funny the law does not make mention of this. Only refers to divorce and annulment. Also, fiance has six months to use visa, I wonder if it was intended for this six months to be used to wait out any state required wait to remarry? I dunno..........................Ken

Never mind - didn't see your newest post. Congratulations!
