I don't see any problems with the stuff you listed there.

I (or anyone else for that matter) cannot accurately predict the likelihood of success or failure of your petition. What I can and will say is this, have plenty of evidence pertaining to your relationship at the ready and make sure your significant other knows the details surrounding your prior relationship (in case it comes up at the interview). Being properly prepared reduces the likelihood of failure.

Very well put!

If you are asking regarding evidence for the I-134, your income exceeds the requirement for a family of 4 which is $29,437 so there shouldn't be an issue there.

As for the divorce as long as it was finalized before you filed your petition (I-129F) all should be fine there as well.

As long as your divorce was final and there was no waiting period to be remarried in your state (or that you waited for that period) before you sent the petition that aspect will not be a problem.

You won't be asked to send documents for the affidavit of support right away, but it seems like you'll be fine by then. Did you count your fiancè(e) as part of your family already? If so you should be fine although the final decision will be up to the embassy.

At the interview, it raised an eyebrow with the CO that I became "engaged" a month before my divorce was finalized (filed I129 6 months later). Fortunately, I had my separation agreement with me that showed we'd actually separated 4 years before that (just didn't get around to the formal paperwork until later).

What is the separation agreement? Is that just a line on the divorce documents showing when the couple stopped living together, or is that a separate form? I had a very similar situation to yours.

Separation agreement was the doc that shows who gets what, what settlement was paid to who and all that stuff. Not everybody has one. If your divorce docs show when you separated, that will do, as well, I think. You just want to ensure that you were "free to marry" when you filed the I129f, and, although, probably technically ok (as long as the divorce was final before the filing), it could be a red flag if it seems like you were in this relationship while still married to (and living with) someone else.

It really depends on the consulate - read the reviews for your consulate and chat with others who have been interviewed there and see if anyone has had a problem with it. I filed for K1 a week after my divorce was final ( no waiting period to marry in my state) Obviously my evidence for proof of meeting was from a time period in which I was still married. I was separated but did not have a formal separation agreement to show. My divorce papers showed our separation date as only a few months before our divorce was filed - when it was actually a lot longer. I went to the interview with my husband and it never came up. We were prepared to answer questions about it but was not asked one thing. They asked for the copy of my divorce decree and that was it.

Each consulate is different and each CO is different, so read the reviews and be prepared and it will be just fine! Good luck!

I may not have "needed" the proof, either, but, as I said, it raised an eyebrow, and I was glad I had it with me.
