Analyze this! Please? My current situation

[LoveNigerianStyle 0]

Hey All,

So here goes. In April 2002 I met my husband online. I visited him in August 2002 and submitted the K1 paperwork in 2003. (application fee was 81usd at that time!!) He was approved for K1 in March 2004 but decided to return to his home country instead. In 2005 I visited him in his home country and applied for K1 a 2nd time and was approved. He arrived in February 2007 and we were married. All immigration paperwork on time and complete, however we are divorcing and it will be final June 23, 2011. So...

I met Khalid in October 2010 and we became friends. Our relationship turned romantic in January 2011 (my 1st visit) and we would like to marry once my divorce is final. My questions are...

Should we submit K1 paperwork once divorce is final in June or marry on my next visit to Nigeria hopefully in August 2011. Either way my next visit will be in August wether for marriage or just a visit.

My heart wants to submit K1 but my head says CR1 what do you think?

If you can get married, get married! I was in the same boat as you last year. I got divorced and submitted K-1 visa petition. Was approved at USCIS and the the Consul officer denied the visa because he claimed you cant be married and engaged at the same time. I tried to explain I was separated for 5 years before I my divorce was final, but he didnt care and denied the visa. Had to get married and start the process all over again.

Considering your past history with online romance - I would suggest you visit him - and if the mood is right, get married, then file for the CR-1.

Thanks Bobby+Umit,

I did visit in January 2011. It would be the only way I could submit a K1. I understand ur post. Thanks again.

Thanks Munequita y osito,

I think ur correct on this. The overlap of marriage/divorce becoming final and engagement does complicate our situation. Thanks so much we've decided to get married and apply for CR1. We should have 3 or 4 visits under our belt by the time of his interview. Thanks again.

I would susgest that you slow down a moment. Some people see that you have already been used and look to see what they can get out of you. I susgest that you work hard on your job then take 3-months or more to spend quality time with your new flame. You will get a better feel of things the longer you spend there, heck If you could take leave and go there for an extended period of time, he should be able to take care of you, you seem like a giver, and some in Nigeria are pure takers, until they are finished using you. Take caution, with all money your spending traveling to Nigeria and I would advise you against sending your new flame one penny of your money.
