K1 after annulment in NY

[Dr Paul 11]

I just received my annulment decree. I married a friend last year to help get her documents but I felt she didn't appreciate me and use to disrespect me so I decided to annul the marriage and bring my fiancee through K1 visa. Will the annulment affect my K1 application?

You admit to committing fraud in a previous relationship and you want to know if it will be a problem?

 

Since all of this has happened in a close timeframe, yes, your previous relationship is going to come up. Any previous relationships where immigration was involved must be shared and since this was just last year that you were in a marriage, you are going to get some tough questions.

 

For example, how do we, and more importantly the interviewing office, know that you are not committing the same act with your fiance? You have already set yourself and your fiance back by your history. So now you have to deal with the issues that may come with it.

The condition is for us to be free to marry and I have enough evidence to support the legitimacy of my relationship so how is that going to be a problem? Marriages end all the time, doesnt matter whether it ends in 10 years or 1 year. I married someone I wasn't in love with and I divorced the person to marry the one i am in love with. So why should that be a problem?

The problem is you helped someone commit immigration fraud. I don’t see how you don’t see that’s the problem. How do you prove that isn’t the case with this one?

The marriage was legit. The only reason I filed for annulment was because we had no connection after and she was disrespectful. I used the term "friends" because she was never really serious with me but then she also wouldn't let go of me so I thought marrying her would let her stay. Meanwhile my now fiance was serious with me so I decided to choose her instead

The marriage was legit... but you were never serious. That does not sound "legit". 

 

Most people do not marry "friends" to "help them get documents" - getting married to circumvent immigration law is not exactly legit.

I'm sorry but every explanation you have said has dug a deeper hole.

 

First you said you married a friend to help her get documents.

 

Then you said you married someone you wasn't in love with.

 

Then you admitted that your ex was never serious with you.

 

Look, all we are doing is acting like we are the ones reviewing your case. If you think we are being tough on you then wait until an immigration officer is looking for any reason to deny a visa. 

 

Like someone already mentioned, the reason it will be a problem is because it looks like you helped someone commit fraud. Perception holds a lot of weight with immigration and if you give an officer any suspicion your fiance will not be getting a visa anytime soon.

Get a lawyer before you file K1, 

Does not matter your annulment at all, forget about it. You need proper representation of your future case.

DO NOT mention anymore that you was trying to help your friend get documents, this wording would get you in big problems with your next K1.Get a lawyer, you can not do that on your own for your case.

Okay so I am going to send in my application. I just won't make mention of the circumstances surrounding my annulment. I will just explain i had a bad break up during the interview stage.

I would say chill out for sometime until all this dies down. Doing this now will cause all manner of red flags.

You are the reason why the immigration becomes harder and harder, there is no such help, it is fraud and I wish it will come back to you.

So you have a marriage (which you have to disclose) and an annulment (on the basis of fraud, I'm guessing)?

[Dr Paul 11]

What is wrong with you guys? I got married and separated last year. I met someone else and filed annulment to bring the person here so what is the deal? Yes the woman I previously married to was u documented but that was only a secondary reason for me to marry her. I may have started this thread on the wrong foot but this is my honest explanation. The annulment has been finalized and am free to marry someone else.
