First, a little history.

I have had a 3yr relationship with my soon-to-be fiance and I will have been separated from my wife for 13 months when the final decree is signed. Over the the past 2 of these 3 years I have spent 3 months with my soon-to-be fiance in Ukraine and vacationing in Europe. I have the usual documentation, passport stamps, pictures, email and phone records.

I want to file the petition as soon as possible after I receive the final divorce decree.

In another thread, I received the suggestion that another visit to my fiance shortly after the divorce, but before I file would decrease the chances that my relationship would be viewed as possible fraud.

Another suggestion was to document that my soon-to-be exwife and I have been living separately (which we will have been for 13 mo).

I would like to hear what others think about the ideas mentioned above, and to hear more ideas about how I can demonstrate that I have a bona fide relationship with my soon-to-be fiance.

Thanks

People with bonafide relationships are able to provide evidence of time spent together and regular communication. Bona fides evidence is asked for at interview, so you've got several months to accumulate it. Something more than a single visit while you were still married will go a long ways. Include picture of you and your fiancee on different dates (different clothing) and in different locations with different people. Pictures with family are very helpful. Yes, another visit after your divorce is final and before filing would be better than a next visit after filing but I don't think the specific timing is critical.

You would only provide proof of separate domicile, if asked. Really bona fides evidence is to be available on request. You won't know what they want to see until it is asked for.

Some in your situation have provided a carefully crafted evolution of relationship letter with the petition and an updated one in their evidence.

Hello, I read your situation, and see the simalarities with me. I married a lady in Peru in march, filed for a spouse visa. She then decided she didn't want to leave her family, due to their health. Her visa application was approved in July. I sent letters to discontinue my sponsorship. We divorced, and it became final September 1st. I had been talking to a lady in brasil, some before me and the peruvian married, then again after we decided on divorce. I visited the brazil lady from august 31 to september 20th. we fell in love, and now want to get a fiancee visa. My question is, was it any problem to get the visa, with your situation? Any tips on what I might do? Should I wait before filing the petition, since it seems so quick?

Thanks for any information.
