New Marriage

[yabe1 0]

Hi,

I am a US-citzen who was in a previous marriage for 5 years (total relationship was much longer) then divorced. I petioned/sponsored my ex in that marriage. 2~ years after the divorce I am married to the love of my life and am needing to sponsor/petition her. Until reviewing the actual paperwork and process, I only began thinking (having some anxieties) how would the previous marriage have any effect on me doing this sponsorship again with my new wife. Are there any issues or anything I should be concerned with if sponsoring my current wife or doing this a second time?

Thank you for any advice and help.

it has no effect, just focus on providing enough evidence

If you r ex is still in the US and not a USC then you have to count her on your affidavit of support

Thank you both for the responses.

I assume ex is still here, What does it mean to include a second person on affidavit of support? Does this change the income or any other requirements?

When you sign an I864 for ANYONE you have to count that person until they become a USC , work 40 qualifying quarters, they leave and give up their green card or until one of you die. So your household is at least 3 you your ex and your current and income requirements are upped accordingly

How exactly will you be petitioning for your wife? Is she in the US already and you will file the I-130 and I-485 at the same time? If so, what visa did she enter the US with?
