Marry Ex-wife's sister and bring her to the U.S.

[Yulek 0]

I would have thought that, if the intent was visa fraud in the first place, the OP wouldn't have remained married to his first wife for 25 years!!

That is his strongest argument for refuting visa fraud. I don't see any issues here.

Quite the opposite. The fraud scheme stems from the fact that the Petitioner is doing his “ex” wife a favor to get her sister over to the U.S. In reality (in a fraud scheme), the Petitioner and his first wife are only divorced on paper and the new relationship is to circumvent the long waiting period for the current visa applicant to go on a family preference visa.

The point is this: whether YOU see an issue with this relationship or not is not really the issue. It’s whether a consular officer will see an issue. And I can guarantee you that a consular officer in Guangzhou is going to take a hard look at this relationship. I know because I used to do this for a living at a high-fraud post and I’ve seen this exact situation. Were applicants denied because of it? No – but they all got a second look and some pointed questioning.

All I am saying is that the Applicant and Petitioner better be very prepared and realistic about what could happen here.
