I was speaking to a friend of mine who has a little 2nd hand experience in the area of immigration dealing with friends and such. I mentioned my dilemma to him, and he stated that the rules have changed through the years, and it was different way back in 2008/2009 when I brought my lady here on the K-1. According to him, In terms of support, I'd be under the rules of that time frame and not the rules of 2025. I don't know if any of that is true, and I don't know what the rules were back then anyway. For all I know they could be the same. I guess this is when a lawyer would be needed to determine things like this.

Edward and Jaycel reacted to a post in a topic:
In Case I file for a K1 Visa again this year.

Excellent points, thanks a lot. There are some things there that might really benefit her. I might be able to convince her with those bullet points.

Thank you for that information. I don't think she would be tripped up by any of these things so now I must convince her it would be a good idea to become a citizen. Like I said earlier, she doesn't seem to care. If you were trying to convince somebody citizenship is a good idea, what would you say?

That is a relief. She is a private person, so I don't know much about her employment other than it appears she is employed now. What types of obstacles are there for a person like my ex-wife becoming a citizen? She is a pretty smart person so I imagine she would pass civics tests. I lost track of what the visas are and thought k-3 existed, but it seems there is a different type of visa nowadays that does basically the same thing.

Thanks for the replies. It would seem the obstacles are 1. Ex wife isn't a citizen and may not want to ever file for citizenship. To the person that mentioned I pay for her N400 form. I would do so gladly. I am not sure she would qualify for citizenship though. She has only started working officially this year. I suspect she has male friends that have helped her financially. I am going to broach the subject of citizenship with her. Would she qualify for citizenship? She is law abiding so that isn't an issue. I may have to not only pay for her forms but pay her to agree to become a citizen. She seems perfectly content with her current status. 2. Medi-Cal. If I plan to move forward, I need to get myself off of this program well before I do. 3. I would consider moving to her country and get married there, and then down the line apply for a visa through the k-3 route. By then I presumably would have worked out these 2 issues I listed above.

Thank you for the replies. 1. No my ex wife has never naturalized. She has received her second 10 year green card a few years back. I can see this is a major obstacle now. As an ex-wife I have little control over her. It would seem the best i can hope for is that she becomes a naturalized citizen. If she were to become a naturalized citizen, it seems I'd be more able to move forward. 2. Yes I have considered marrying abroad and trying that route. Would that route me more feasible under my circumstances?

I married a lady using the K-1 visa back in about 2008. We had a child together shortly after she arrived. We divorced in 2016. Now in 2025, I am considering marrying another foreign lady. I have some baggage that might be harmful to my case, so I want to run it by the forum and let me know what you all think. 1. We got food stamps from 2010-2012. 2. I, and my ex-wife and our child are still on the California Medi-Cal program. I never renew it but seems to auto renew every year. It helps my ex-wife out quite a bit, as her income isn't very high, so I haven't been proactive in insisting they terminate the coverage. I don't want to rock her boat and I am guessing California may think we are still together, and they despite me not completing their required paperwork for at least 10 years, it just keep auto renewing. I'm wondering if these issues are going to be obstacles for me if I apply for a K-1 in 2025. For the record, I would meet the income/asset threshold to bring somebody here on a K-1. Thank you so much.
