Timeline

If you have divorced then your visa application based on a bonafide marriage is no longer valid. 

 

If you get married again, you will probably need to start the process from the beginning, and expect them to look very carefully (suspiciously) at the fact that you divorced -> re-married -> applied for a visa.

@Gail48,

 

I honestly do not see an issue here. I also do not understand why others asked if you were in Cuba. Why Cuba? Am I missing something?

You were married to your ex-husband and lived with him in the US. He was a Legal Permanent resident and you could not stay because you did not have a green card. You also had issues and you divorced him.

He is now a changed man as well as a US citizen. He listed you as a former spouse (ex-wife) on the N-400 Application for naturalization. 

 

I see no issue. You would have to marry him again. So he would have to travel to you. He would marry you and file a I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. It takes some time to process. You two will need to be very patient. 

 

Hope it all works out for you two. :)

We understand that. That's why we talking more now over the phone and face timing more now. Understanding each other before we do it again. 

 

I have my B2 visa which is a visitor visa. So I'm going up and spend some time with him. Both families know each other. So is just for us to get it right this time. 

 

More communication.

Thanks hon, finally someone who understands me. 

 

The reason why they said cuba is I put down cuba. I didn't want to put my whereabouts online. Sorry for that.

How is that fraud again? We knows each other for 2 yrs. He was a GC holder so I couldn't stay. I decided to go back home because of work. And he did some stuff I didn't like so I decided again to divorce him. So I don't know why u saying it was fraud when u didn't even know me or us.

If you marry now for the sole purpose of getting a green card, as you have implied you would be prepared to do when you said

Oh, we will have to get married again for me to get through?

that is fraud. it can get you a lifetime ban from the US and fines and/or jail time for the USC.

Why you keep saying for a GC, if I wanted a GC I wouldn't of divorce him. Really guys. I have a visa so I can go and come.

So we can't get married again this what u are saying.  We have work things out we have been talking since I called it off. And he has apologized for what he did in the past. And yes I have forgiven him. 

No, you can get re-married to the same person. Most people just don't which is why I didn't go into that possibility.

Contradictions without citations only make you look dumb.

Because if you re-read your first post, that is all you seemed to care about (and you said you didn’t even know he had filed for you! What kind of marital communication is that?). You only started mentioning really wanting to get back together after someone raised the fraud issue. Anyway, as already mentioned you can expect scrutiny from the interviewing officers, if you have a genuine relationship you’ll be fine, if not and they deny you then you probably won’t even have a B visa anymore.  And that really is about the whole story. Good luck.

Exactly, not sure why they are being so mean and rude on here. I really thought this was a kind way to get proper information but I guess wrong. Smh

Your initial message was a little difficult to understand. Possibly autocomplete may have scrambled it up a little. But I mean, I get it. 

I re-read it and I get it. Sometimes people are too quick to judge. It is also that we do not all speak "immigration". Right? 

Anyway, I just want to clarify and I think this is where the misunderstanding happened. Your ex-husband listed you on the N-400 and it sounds like you thought or he thought that you may be able to migrate to the US based on that. To be clear, even if you were still married to him, his N-400 does not do anything for you. Now that he is a citizen though, he is able to sponsor a spouse, his parents, children etc. 

So again, you would need to marry him if you are, of course, entirely sure you want to marry the same man twice. LOL, if you're cool with it, I am cool with it. :) 

Then you file the I-130 and you would either get your immigrant visa at the Embassy or Consulate. Or if you are in the US, then you can do Adjustment of status. Make sure you read through the forum how everything is done and by all means, keep asking questions.

Look here I only mention the details because you all started being very unkind. Right now I regret I came on here. It's nothing about GC. He is the one who mentions it to me. And he didn't know how to go about it. So he told me to get some information for him. I don't care about GC.

Thanks. And yes we do. We already know each other better now. And it was just a little misunderstanding with us. 

 

Communications were his biggest problem. And his family told him about himself. And I also did some soul searching to better myself and my family. So yes yes I do want to marry him.

And that is between you and him and USCIS - not us. lol

 

If anything, you will have plenty of evidence to show that your relationship is real. You will be fine. I would just make sure that you show plenty of evidence when the time comes.

Thanks. We started saving the message and calls. And I have saved the picture from before. When I was there. 

 

Thanks for your help.
