Short wait between divorce and marriage

[stacato]

Hi everyone,

I divorced my American wife after 15 years of marriage. I met my Lao Po while I was seperated, and we married approximately 1 month after I got my final divorce. I recently sent the I130 petition to the CSC. Could this be a problem? Is there a mandatory wait time between a divorce and a new marriage?
Your answers would be appriciated.

There are several CFL members that were recently divorced and have applied for K-1 or K-3 Visas

Your Past Marriage history should not be an issue -except that they may ask for lots of pictures and a well written narrative about how you met ,how the relationship developed ,when you fell in love

You Know the highly personal things you would rather keep that way

 

But - the VO's

 

will want to to verify that you have a BONA FIDE RELATIONSHIP

 

That's what they did to me because I had only one visit -21 days - prior to the interview date -I was returning for 25 days when we were pink slipped anyway and had to write letter for additional evidence .

No mandatory wait time...

Just be sure and write a letter that explains when you separated from you wife, how long you waited for the divorce, how and when you meet your SO...etc.

I hope not as neither my wife or I had our divorces finalized until a month before we were married. I had been separated for over 1 year, she for over 2 years.

Some states require a waiting period after a divorce before you can remarry. I know for Wisconsin it was 6 months which was not a problem for me since the K-1 took almost a year.

Your divorced, which means you are now single. The only other thing you need in the US to make a lawful marriage is a willing partner of the opposite sex....

I applied for a K1 9 days after my divorce was final. didn't cause a problem
