Previously married on k-3

Assalaamu Alaikum and hey everyone

Well, my question is, I married in Tunisia in 2009 and brought my then husband over on a k-3 visa which was filed DCF. We have since been divorced .

I have since met someone who I would like to bring over using the fiance visa. But can I do this if it has only been 2 years since using the k-3? Also He is Afghani but studying in Malaysia. Does this pose any additional difficulties? I will be going in April or August for one month depending on if I would be able to start the process then.

He actually has his SIV (special invitation visa) approved up until the last step...but the NVC has basically told him it could be years to actually be accepted and receive it. He was eligable for it as he was a translator for the usa military in afghanistan, and Obama has dwindled the number of those visas issued to only 50 a year..so we are thinking to stop that and go along with the k-1 visa. Any advice would be sooo helpful.

Thanking you in advace!!

Are you sure it was K-3 filed DCF? K-3 petitions can only be submitted stateside. Petitions for IR1/CR1 visas could be submitted via DCF.

Regardless, you are able to submit an I-129F for a fiancee visa.

You can submit now, if you have physically met within 2 years.

Having brought over a foreigner on a spousal visa, divorcing shortly after he came here, then wanting to bring another person over within months is a huge red flag. Be prepared for lots of questions at the interview, and have him bring a lot of evidence of bonafide relationship.

I am not sure it was a K-3 to be honest. I just remember going through DCF. After living in tunisia for about a year.

I was thinking it would be a huge red flag as well which I hate because I did not marry before with the intention of getting divorced But I am ready to answer any and all questions they have. Also wondering if they flat out won't do it because he is Afghani

I am sorry if I offended you by me not remembering. I was living in the country (Tunisia) at the time and did everything through the embassy there. Not through the mail. I do have copies of everything I did and could dig them out and let you know. I do understand it is a life altering change, as marriage is no matter where you are. Either way it was direct consulate filing. It was not a fiance visa, which is what I am pursuing now.
