Recently Divorced, Now Filing Again

[littlelion108 0]

I'm an American Citizen and I married someone almost 6 years ago and we went through the process of getting them a green card. Anyway our marriage wasn't good and they even r*ped me one time when we were heavily drinking although I never told anyone. They still have an I-751 processing now as an amended divorce waiver.

 

I left that bad marriage and went to another country and almost immediately dated a wonderful person and we've been dating about a year, and lived together for 6 months. I want to file an I-129f but was wondering how this will all look. I didn't finish the divorce for almost a year after leaving that previous marriage. I'm sorry if this is too personal I suppose mods could delete it.

 

Basically USCIS will see I left for unknown reasons, immediately dated someone and look like nice couple, then divorce and immediately file I-129F. I also dated someone in America for more than half a year before meeting my finance, so I didn't just immediately meet them after moving out... I'm not sure if I should try to explain this or how.

I don't see any red flags, unfortunately lots of marriages end in divorce. USCIS is aware of this.

If you were legally separated divorcing later won't cause any red flags. Probably even if you didn't wouldn't be an issue. Divorce takes time and you dating others while married I don't think will cause moral issues to USCIS.

 

Know people who stayed married but legally separated because of money then divorced years later when the guy met his new now wife in Asia.

Just make sure once you have your divorcee decree to check for any cool off period in your state before getting married again.

I’d agree with the other replies. It shouldn’t be an issue since life is unpredictable and love even more. You could add a letter but people get married for so many reasons and uscis just cares that people don’t just marry for getting the greencard

Why a K1?

I'm sorry that happened to you.

 

USCIS does not care "why" you left a marriage or divorced.  They care that it is legally dissolved prior to filing for a new partner, and that any marriage that led to an immigrant benefit was entered into in good faith.

 

 I have to echo Boiler though, why do a K-1, vs a CR-1?  Especially since you have lived with your new partner already?
