I know my case is kinda complicated and i tried to contact a few lawyers but i figured they weren't qualified to handle my case, so hopefully someone on here can help me with some answers,

I came to the U.S on a K-1 visa got married and applied for AOS and after 2 months we separated, it took almost a year to get a Conditional green card, we stayed married for about 2 years even though we have been separated since 2 months after our marriage, she tried to make me pay her lawyer and i didn't have money that's why it took us that long to finalize the divorce.

It was her decision to divorce because she realized it's too early to be married and the marriage was a mistake and that she also said we so different.

Anyway.... What matters now,

I'm engaged to a different girl, she is also a US citizen and we're in love, please i need someone with experience to answer, at least a good advice, i'm not on here to get hateful comments, i've already had enough

I'm aware that it's almost impossible to remove conditions based on the first marriage since I barely have any evidence of relationship after we were married due to the very short period we lived together in the US

I've read a post on here of a lady who was able to Adjust her status through a second husband since her first marriage ( with the petitioner) lasted longer than 2 years even though she didn't even have a conditional green card by the time she married the second husband, it took USCIS more than 2 years to approve her first AOS

so my main question is,

1- if i marry my fiancee will i be able to remove conditions or at least adjust my status again ( i already have a conditional green card which will expire in a few months) since my first marriage with the petitioner was longer than 2 years ? I have a good job here and i don't want to lose it

Believe it or not most immigration lawyers i have spoken to weren't able to give me an exact answer, and i'm not willing to spend my money on an inexpert lawyer.

Thanks for your help

Dude what U talking about is like immigration root canal

of every teeth, no wonder U cant find an atty to take case,

U R talking about them trying to climb Mt Everest to get thru

to USCIS approval on your behalf....yes maybe one individual

did go on to get approved, but each case is different & the law

clearly states U marry, stay with and AOS with the wife that brought

U into the state.

Try calling Carl Shusterman get a consult if anyone can rectify this

its him....best wishes

Thanks for answering, dude i tried to, he charges $ 430 for a 30 min consultation over the phone, that's a rip off , i understand he is one of the best but if he wants $ 430 for a 30 min consultation then God knows how much he will cost me if i hire him, and do you have an idea if he would give me back some of the money in case he loses the case?

Poor people don't have a place in this world

As you said you dont have enough proof to file l 751 waiver showing bonafide marriage.I saw many cases the aliens were able to get a new green card through their new spouses and it took years,one case took 3 years, but i know 3 AOS cases denied through their new wives ### well.,two couples are living abroad now, one got divorce and she was deported.YOur case wont be easy,FInd the best attorney possible.

The problem is removing conditions is based upon your first marriage. You have to show that was a bonafide marriage. Hence the requirement on the K-1 to receive a conditional green card. You admit you don't have any proof this was a bonafide marriage, sounds llike it wasn't. Since you came on the K-1 and can't meet the proof requirements to remove conditions I don't think you can just forget about this marriage and start over with another USC wife.

You have three choices.

1. Spend a lot of money on a very good immigration attorney.

2. Attempt to remove conditions without an attorney and see what happens.

3. Leave the US.

If your marriage was bonafied and with good intent you can remove condition on your gc. Good intent doesn't mean it will always work. If you can prove that you were married for all the right reasons gather your evidence send your roc package and go to the interview. If they deny you because they think its a sham marry your current fience if you both love each other and adjust through her. Of course its gonna be needle eye scrutinize but once its a bonafied marriage you have nothing to lose. Adjudicator are human like us and just like usc marrying usc it don't always work and ppl remarried and some even have blended family so its not the end of the world I have a very good and experience lawyer i can pm you his info if your in the tristate area.

In cases where they were able to get a new green card through their new spouses, do you know if they got CGR all over again or they got the PR ? do you recommend any good lawyer with a reasonable price ?

So you admit your first marriage was a sham?

Where did i say it was a sham? like i said i came here with a good intention and lived together before for a while, and she changed her mind after we got married, so now I'm the one to blame because she changed her mind!!

C'mon people just chill i came on here seeking help, if the only thing you know is judging others then just keep that to yourself

It's not that rare of a case, lawyers can't guarantee anything. It might be an easy switch for you or you might get marked as fraud. Unfortunately our system has flaws. I think you will have to be married for length to remove conditions, I think you will just file like you are here illegally and start the process over. I don't see why lawyers think it's that hard of a case, they don't have a problem taking much harder so I think you are going to cheap lawyers that want easy money. Unless you have a criminal record here, or came here illegally which it doesn't sound like that is the case I think you will be just fine. My ex over stayed her visa and it costed close to $10,000 in lawyer fees to adjust once we were married so I can't tell you it will be cheap. The lawyers screwed a ton up and I personally think I could've done better myself. Good luck!

Speaking from the little experience i have for my case is almost like yours but i was married for less and when i tried to adjust,I was denied and had to start the process all over and am almost at the end of it now.best advice i can give u is to have your fiancee/wife file for you and go through the spousal visa route.Make sure you can prove that your 1st marriage was bonafide and then u might get some luck with the process I wish you the best of luck
