Did the K-1 visa 8 years ago, chance of rejection this time around?

[zinger143 3]

I have a question. My fiancée and I actually met 9 years ago and we did the K-1 visa, he came up, and then my mother died suddenly. We were living with my family and it was a hot mess. Things didn´t go well due to the emotional stress and while we married he returned to his country to deal with an issue that quickly became too large to handle and after six months we got the marriage annulled. We didn´t file the right papers before he left, and to get him back up was difficult, and with all the stress we just called it off. We talked throughout the 8 years because I have a daughter with him. While he was in the US he was there for 6 months before we married instead of 3 because we lost his passport.

I am now in Bolivia again for two months and would like to do the K-1 visa again. From my research his 3 month overstay shouldn´t be a problem because they give you a 3 year ¨fine¨ which he has well exceeded by 8 years of being in Bolivia after he left the US. However, my question to the more knowledgeable people here is would it be a problem for us to try this visa again? We did get married, but late, and then got it annulled, and I am afraid of them denying the visa because we did this before.

I have plenty of evidence of our contact with picture photos, emails, skype bills, and facebook messages. I am able to sponsor him financially as well, however, I am worried we will go through this whole process only for the embassy to deny him at the interview. Would you suggest I include why this time is different in my intention letter or leave it alone? What are people´s thoughts who have more knowledge? Advice? Thank you,

Rachel
