Would remarrying someone from the same country cause issues when I apply for citizenship?

[jgrocio393 1]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a 10 year green card that I got in 2023, from being married to my ex spouse (we were married for 5 years). We finalized the divorce this April and I started dating someone long distance from the same country I immigrated from (Canada) a few months later.

 

I was wondering, would there be a problem when I apply for citizenship based on physical presence if I were to hypothetically marry this person from the same country before I apply?

 

Thanks!

USCIS has seen this construction before, so they might look at your case a little more closely, yes.

Expect scrutiny on this.  It's not an uncommon thing to see someone gain immigration benefit through a US citizen, divorce and then want to bring in another person from their country of origin.  Very old trick.

 

Is yours and your new partner's country of origin Canada?  That might make it less suspicious, IMO, if you are both Canadian by birth (low fraud country, generally).

She is born in Canada and only has Canadian citizenship but I was born in Europe (Bulgaria) before my parents moved to Canada when I was about 10 years old
