Hi, all!

Just got married for my USC wife and collecting all the paperwork needed for my AOS (btw. I have overstayed tourist visa). The problem I might be facing is that this is her 3rd marriage. First one lasted 4 years, while the second one was 8 years. They both were legit. I know I will take a lawyer to assist if needed. Would like to know if anyone of you has any kind of experience regarding that matter. Any links or help will be really appreciated!

Thank you all in advance!

Were the two previous marriages to foreigners, and did she file for a GC for them as well?

Yes, they were. Have forgot to add that to my question. And also this is my very first marriage. On wednesday have an appointment with my lawyer. I know he will give me a better view at the things I'm about to face. But, would like to hear/read some real life experience from the people that had the same/similar situation!

sounds like you might have a tough road ahead. A lawyer might be more helpful with the interview prep, not necessarily with filling up the paperwork I don't think.

Yeah, I know. Just wanna make sure we both are ready and fully prepared for the interview. Also, don't wanna give IO a reason to question my legit marriage due to a last 2 divorces.
