My divorce was finalized 1-29-2016. I met my fiance in September 20, 2015, but waited until 2-1-2016 to send the I-129F in. Do you think the USCIS will care about me still being *technically* married? I was separated in march, and the divorce proceeding were started. I was stressing about the dates about being *married*. I hope the USCIS will overlook this date. Any comments are wanted!

Thanks, Richard

You correctly waited until you were free to marry to send in the petition.

The pics, evidence of your relationship, etc. from before the "finalization" will not be a problem. Life happens.

Be sure that the beneficiary knows all the details and dates regarding the divorce so that they can answer any questions at the interview.

Not a problem, they understand a divorce takes a long time to be legally final.

No, you're good .

I was separated in march, and the divorce proceeding were started. I was stressing about the dates about being *married*. I hope the USCIS will overlook this date. Any comments are wanted!

This should be no issue.

I was in a very similar situation - I met my fiancee while she was still married (but separated). She had to wait one year after separation until she could get divorced. We only then applied for the K1 when her divorce was completed. I did provide some pictures and boarding passes/password stamps that related to us being together after her divorce, but I don't see any problem with your case as you've explained it.

Nope, no issue. USCIS requires you be FREE TO MARRY at the time of filing the I-129F petition. All is good. :thumbs:
