Filing second i130 for second spouse

[aaron2020 11,651]

good to hear a different point of view. My soon-to-be husband says I should not be worried about it, and I tell him that they might go hardcore us because of my previous marriage. The lawyer we went to, said I shouldn't worry since we never filled any petition. I'm not very nervous about what the immigration might ask me since - that marriage was a mistake - we were both very lonely people and I held on a very strong belief that I needed to be married before having sex. I didn't have any previous relationship and I just want to settle, he proposed about a week before his contract started in a cruise ship company (Carnival), he lived with his parents about two hours away from me and had to spend a lot of money with gas and going out to eat while in town to see me. I lived with a family I used to work for, they had young children and said it was ok for T (my former hysband) to spend the night in the guest room whenever he was in town, but they didnt want to explain to the kids while I would have a man sleeping my room. So after our marriage, we decided we were going to move in together as soon as he got back from the cruise (three months later). A lot happened in between and when he came back we both realized we got married too fast - at that point I had no idea we could qualify for annulment...for the following years we only talked about saving money for a divorce - he was always travelling and it was hard to keep in touch with him. I finally saved enough money for a divorce in 2012 but when telling the family lawyer about the situation he said we could still qualify for annulment if I wanted that, since our state has no deadline for a marriage annulment. The biographic form has absolutely no field where I can state that the marriage was annuled, it just has the marriage date and the date and place where it ended... Should I just put in the same box the word annulment? I have to send a copy of decree, so either way I'm sending the info, just not sure where to fill it in the form.

I wonder if they would try to track him down for a interview. I will definately try to contact him and let him know that immigration might have questions at some point.

Thanks and good luck everyone ?

No, you do not write annulment in that box. You only provide answers to the questions asked. You write down the day the annulment as the date your first marriage ended. You will provide the annulment paperwork as proof that your prior marriage ended.

I went through a similar situation but my first filing was for a fiance visa. We had Stokes interview. Ended up getting the CR1, but the interview was an incredibly awful experience.

AmyWrites,

I imagine it must have been... Did they just ask you questions about the first marriage? Or did they want to see physical evidence, like photos, bank statements for joint accounts, and joint leases? If questions, what did they ask? If documents, what did they request?

They requested that I supply written information from my ex, not from me.

Anh map,

What information did they request? Did they want her to send the information? Or were you able to provide it? Or did USCIS contact her directly?

We didn't actually get past the petition stage for the K-1 visa, so there was no physical evidence to provide. But a good half of the questions were about that relationship and about how I could fall in love with someone else so quickly.

Did they require wvidence from your ex fiancee? I think thats about what they will do to me.

2 marriages so closely spaced that both carry immigration benefits are extremely suspicious. At least the first wife was from a low fraud country.

Not that I recall.
