More so on how many times the petitioner has been divorced?

Or how many times the beneficiary has been divorced? Or possibly how many times beneficiary was married to say a USC previously and tried to get a visa but also denied several times?

No, there isn't a rule but if you petition multiple people for a K-1 visa, CR-1, then you have to apply for a waiver if you're within a certain time. They want to make sure that you aren't just marrying and divorcing people so they can immigrate. Other than that, there's no issue with previous marriages/divorces, as long as they're legally terminated. I know certain countries make divorce difficult so there's discussions on how to get divorced in say, the Philippines, on here.

No rule, there was that lady with 5 I think with a petition from Afghanistan who was having issues.

 

Most going through PI seem to have a few on the books.

Good question. I have no idea but I think it all comes down to where the beneficiary is from. 5 divorces may not seem like a lot for a CO in England but can seem extreme in some other countries.

 

I would think that having short marriages or a short time between marriages would seem like more of a problem than having too many divorces?

 

I'd like to hear what others think. Or if it was ever an issue during the petition or interview for some.

interesting 

i would think there would be limit as it seems that several divorces would mean unstable

Probably does not help, especially of many have immigrated this way and there is a pattern.

I remember similar thread from some time ago.

 

Someone said there is no statistics for K1/CR1 divorces but this can be somewhat checked by seeing who is filling ROC jointly and how many people file with divorce waiver.

From a petitioner perspective, and a single point statistic, the number has to be greater than 4

I would think it would definitely be considered as a deciding factor, but not independently a deal breaker. For instance; if multiple divorces exist in a case, along with some other suspicious or negative factors, then that could pose a problem. But multiple divorces, standing alone as a "factor", with no other red flags may not necessarily lead to an issue.

I have been divorced 3 times.  2 of my marriages were to undocumented immigrants living in the US. and one was a US citizen.  I filed I-130 for the 2 immigrants.  Neither received greencards due to our divorcing and abandoning the petitions.  My K1 petition for my current fiance was approved with no issues/RFE.  My beneficiary has never been married.  I am 16 years older than him.  Hopefully I will have great news that his visa was approved in about 1 months time.  We are currently waiting for NVC to receive our paperwork.  I don't expect my divorces to be a problem.  My last divorce was finalized in June of 2017 (to the USC) and I filed my K1 Dec. 2017 Hope that's helpful.
