Do I need IMBRA waiver??

[Big World 0]

Even after reading more about IMBRA here on VJ, I am still confused as to whether it will apply to my situation.

I married my first wife on a K-1 visa back in 1995. She came here, we were legally married, but divorced this year.

I met an excellent girl who I have already started the K-1 process with. I hope I won't get the delay for the IMBRA waiver and was wondering if others could let me know what to expect.

1. Is the waiver only needed for MORE THAN 2 K-1 visa applications (i.e, on the 3rd one)? Or is it TWO OR MORE (i.e. on the second one, which is my case)?

2. Does this IMBRA law only apply to K-1 visas issued after March 6, 2006, when this law took effect? Or will they count the one prior to this date (my first marriage, which was 1995)?

I didn't meet her through a broker, so that doesn't apply. And I have no convictions which would apply.

Please advise...

It starts at number 3 as long as there were more than two years between them. I am doing number 2 but only had 22 months in between them so had to do a waver.

It does not matter if they were before IMBRA or not.
