Sponsoring a second time

[malenonimmigrant 10]

Hello everyone,

I am a born USC. I was married to a guy from Egypt who I fell in love with a while back. We got married and I was able to sponsor him for his green card. I do believe he did the interview at the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, as I never attended any marriage interview with him while in the States. I wasn't part of much of his paperwork and he seemed to have an immigration lawyer that took care of it all. Anyways, we divorced after 3 years because our relationship wasn't really working out. He seemed too much of the controlling type and it just didn't pan out well for me. We divorced in 2007.

In Nov 2015, I got married to a man that I felt was the one for me. We dated for 3 years. He is also foreign and was here on an H1b work visa. We got married, had a small ceremony where my parents were involved. We are all close with my family and friends. We got a lawyer to file his paperwork for adjustment of status and he got his EAD card. We are waiting for the interview date letter, but I guess, I am little worried if my husband is going to suffer a lot of scrutiny for my past marriage. For that matter, I am worried too if I will be scrutinized. My ex and I parted in good terms, and he has already re-married another woman and has kids. I don't want any of us to suffer. Am I overreacting too much? Has anyone gone through what I have and succeeded? Any advice, questions to prepare for would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You might be asked about the previous marriage that led to a green card for the first spouse. I am not sure you will be overtly scrutinized to the point of a denial because of it though. Just answer whatever they ask honestly. You did not marry in order to get anyone a green card, so you did nothing wrong. Head into the interview with that attitude.

Considering how long ago you divorced the first husband, I do not think you will have any major issues.

Be sure that your current husband knows all about the ex, as he may be asked at interview, and that you have plenty of relationship evidence with the current husband (especially financial co-mingling such as joint bank accounts, bills, being eachother's next-of-kin at work etc).
