Hi, my fiance is going through divorce right now, and will be final in June. And she is coming to see me after divorce is final, and we plan to file K1 after that. Is there any risk in filing so close to the finalization of divorce? And most of our proof on ongoing relation is after she move out and filed for divorce, will that be a problem? We knew each other for over 20 years, and didnt start until she decide she want out of her marriage. Can anyone tell me what are my risks and need to be more prepare for. Thank you

Filing for her K1 soon after her divorce could be seen as a "red flag" and arise suspicion of fraud or fake relationship.

It really depends on how tough the Consulate she will interview in. In a Western European country, it would probably cause no problem, but in a high fraud country, it might definitely raise questions.

I'm sure experienced members will come and tell you what you can do to address this red flag. Good luck!

That isa very short time between separation and the two of you getting together, but with your history of knowing eachother for a long time, I don;t think it will be a major issue.

This time, or like of there of, is not a requirement, so you can not be denied based only on this.

However, it is a red flag which can bring a more close scrutiny to your process.

At filing this won't likely to be brought up, but when comes to the interview there is a chance that this will be asked.

So, make sure you have her prepared to answer/explain the relationship in a clear, objective and concise way.

FYI, although separated for a long time from our previous spouses, I filed for my wife's K1 not too long after legally divorced. In her case, annulment, I filled for her K1 just days after her annulment court order.

We had no related snags or were ever asked about it.

Wishing the best.
