Filing a petition again after a divorce

[livindadream 156]

it"s just a pity anyway but i think it will be difficult at the usem in lagos during his interview because of the previous marriage but you just need bunch of evidence to conquer the test.

there is fraud all over the world in different fields and divorce is also all over and its not common in AFRICA but in the developed world but i admit the fact that he used you and drained you also. but with the new found love i pray that GOD will abide in him and love you till death path you.i know it is not a good way to leave a life jumping here and there.

TRUST IN GOD AND ALL THINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

Thank you.

Lagos seems to be the biggest issue with US/Nigerian couples. USCIS tends to treat all petitions alike but Lagos treats them all like they are fraud cases. They may cast a Negative eye on your "assisting" your previous partner in their immigration process. You have to be strong , prepare well, expect the worse and if it goes easily then country your blessings.

Yes...I agree...and I want to add that, based on what happened to you in your first marriage, you should be prepared that Lagos might put your husband's visa application into Administrative Processing for an indeterminate period of time while they thoroughly investigate him and verify his credentials.

That will be horrible if they do that. Wat if we were residing somewhere else? Like in Senegal (they allow petitioners to go to the interview, unlike Lagos). If he can get residency there, could we go thru the embassy there, or would it still have to go thru Nigeria because that is where he is a citizen of?

In Senegal they allow the petitioner to enter the embassy with the beneficiary but the beneficiary still goes through the interview by themselves. Really the only thing you're doing is waiting with him. Which could make the whole experience a little easier.

I would say it depends on how long he's had residency. I can't say that it would be wise to move somewhere just to go to that consulate especially because he would still have to go back to Nigeria for a few things when if he was already there, it wouldn't be so much of a financial strain. Plus, even if he goes through another consulate your previous information will still be in the system and they will still examine things much more closely. Plus even living somewhere else...he's still Nigerian. KWIM?

LOL. Yes, I know wat you mean. Well, thanks for the advice. I know all my previous stuff will pop up anywhere we go, but I guess I was just hoping that it might be a little easier being ANYWHERE other than the embassy in Nigeria. I'm just so scared that my previous 'situation' is going to make this one a mess! And whats worse....is wen I petitioned for the fiance visa for the man who scammed me, it went sooo smoothly !! Not one delay, no problems, nothing !! Isnt that just wonderful ! lol.

I always hear that Nigeria is a cash based country and I have heard of the "visa price" for the US embassy. Not anything that is within the means of normal couples but something that a scammer might be will to part with for a visa.

yes, its true. In fact, my fiance said he knows a man who is 'selling' visa's to Canada for about 8,000 USD. We want to do things the legal way, because in the end, this will be the best solution. I also have a friend here in the US who came here on a visa from Nigeria that he paid about 10,000 USD for. Needless to say, getting here was the 'easy' part. It was STAYING here that caused him all the grief.

I know someone who filed a CR1 and then they divorced...she filed a K1 and was succesful. This wasn't through Nigeria though. All you can do is try...GOOD LUCK!

That is very encouraging. What country was it through? And we're both of her partners from the same country?

My ex was from another country and we went through immigration and I went through and got my husband here. But there was 22 years between petitions.

agreed. moving to senegal for several months so that you can go to the consulate in dakar is not a good idea. i say stay where you are, and as long as you have all of your evidence, you guys will be fine.
