US Citizen Divorcing and Engaged

[TheMeghan 0]

Hi,

I am a US citizen and I am in the process of Divorce from a Man I married from India and helped to get his green Card. Our marraige was a love relationship and a true marraige and like other true marraiges it just didnt work out. As of February 13 we would have been married for 4 years. So I dont think that would have posed any issues. He and I have been apart for awhile and I have fallen in love with a man I met in Beirut. I was talking to him online before I went so we have been conversing for awhile and when we met it just felt right. So now I want to Marry him and bring him to the USA. I will be divorced in 3 weeks and I figured I would file after that. What issues if any should I expect? Also he is a Syrian on Refugee status in Lebanon, will this help or make for any other issues I cant forsee?

I am nervous and still a foolish romantic. Yes I looked for an US Citizen to be with but sometimes things just dont work that way. And I had to go and start the tough path of the USCIS again. This site was helpful in the past and I hope it will be again.

Thanks

Meghan...

Do not file until you are legally able to marry. And prepare to answer plenty of questions about the dates of your relationships. It could (and probably will be) a red flag to see that you met your current boyfriend/fiance before your divorce was ever finalized.

I decided I should Make a new profile. I do realize not to file until the divorce is over. And well I do know that I have put myself in a stupid spot. I tend to do that with many things and they tend to magically (for lack of a better term) work out. But this one makes me nervous.

But aside from still married... What about the issies of him being a Syrian Refugee what (If Any) impact will that have.

Even if your divorce is over, many states have a certain amount of time you have to wait before you get married again. That time has to have passed by the time you file your petition.

I don't have any knowledge about your other issue, so I'll let someone else answer that.

Men from predominantly Muslim countries can be placed on extended AP (Administrative Processing) before possibly being granted a visa. This phase alone could take many months.
