[taty 0]

I am new on this web site. And of course, I have a lot of questions.I am just on the beginning of my prosess to get K1 visa.

Why can tell me why it is take so long to get K1 visa? Are they going to check all my docs that I have to provide? I mean, I was married 2 times before. Are they gonna check this info also?

Think of the sheer numbers of people going through the system. That's why it takes so long.

And yes - they look at and verify all your documents. They will even send you a request for further evidence if they don't feel what you have sent is sufficient. Again, multiply that by THOUSANDS, and there you go.

As TracyTn said...there are a lot of people doing the same thing - they (the government) can only do so much at a time...Kind of like Rush-Hour traffic.

Yes, they will check on your two previous marriages and that you have to declare in the forms that you submit. The USCIS will also check all the documents that you provide prior to giving you their decision on whether you have met the burden of prove and whether an NOA2 will be given.

Getting pass the Foriegn Consulate will be more difficult. I am not sugar coating it, two past marriages will present difficulties for you.

Hahaha. That is good.

Plus you have to include all the coffee breaks, lunch breaks, weekends, all the Government holidays, etc.

I am not aware of any documented evidence that would indicate that two previous marriages are going to be hugely problematic unless they were foreign marriages that you previously applied for visas ....

Why?

You must also remember that timelines vary greatly for processing. I received my K1 within 3 months of filing, but others have waited far longer. Cases certainly aren't processed in the order they were received at USCIS, however, this may be linked to requests for further info and any investigations that USCIS may wish to undertake. Just make sure that your paperwork is complete and error free, and have someone check it over for you if necessary. I used an attorney to file my case but as long as you are diligent you will be fine. Good luck.

I agree, something like that may be a red flag to them. Otherwise, as long as you have proof of both Divorces and that you are free to re marry, I don't see why that would be an issue.

Why?

Because they'll look at her age (I have no idea) and ask: Is this petitioner a serial bride? Is this a genuine relationship? How many years between her two previous marriages, and her last divorce?

Why?

I believe this has more to do with the embassy itself. Certain embassy will ask for things such as your ex-wife's SSN, Address, and so on. There's a few report on Candleforlove forum. Whereas the embassy in France or Canada won't be asking for it. Not sure about Panama thou. Not sure about HCM either.

Those questions didn't come up in our case.

If the past marriages ended in amicable terms then all is fine, but some people have difficulties locating ex-wifes addresses and other information that the embassy requests. It's not easy calling your ex-wife and telling her you want to marry a foreigner and asking for her cooperation.

Also, I believe certain embassys will view past failed marriages as good indicator's of the future outcome of a K1 visa (not saying that this is the case with the OP). If both petitioner and beneficiary were never married and there were no children etc., then it would be simple. Throw in a divorce and a few kids and you complicate the process.

Every embassy is different, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling the OP that two past divorces won't present problems. IMO.
