not following the 90 day rule for the K1 visa

Lets get the terminology straight.

Alimony is when one spouse gives money to another upon a divorce and that typically ends when the receiving person gets married again.

A pension is money paid to a person, typically from the company he/she worked for, as retirement money, and typically lasts for their lifetime. It can only be given to the person who worked for that company.It cannot be transferred.

Social Security or SS is government money and is given only to the individual who worked here, and is based upon age, prior years of employment and is only given to the person who retires. It cannot be transferred.

It sounds like, and I could be wrong, that this person is receiving alimony and this was the arrangement from the divorce and will last for 6 more years, then it will end. If this is the case however, then once he got married it should end in any event.

I think, in the divorce decree, the husband was awarded a portion of the wife's retirement pension, to be paid out :

1. when the man reaches retirement age and

2. he maintains his 'not married ' status.

You've got the terms right, but IMO there is not any alimony - just a financial settlement in the divorce decree covering the disbursement and percentage of the retirement pension, to be paid AFTER the man reaches retirement age.

I could, of course, be wrong.

You would think that a woman who loves her son wouldn't put him in a position to be an illegal alien, with no recourse for legality for life, except by leaving and waiting out a 10-year ban.

Also, won't the new wife be less financially secure due to less "marriage time" and therefore less retirement payments?
