I started the K-1 process in September. Since then I have learned that being recently divorced is a red flag. I met my fiancee online in June of this year while being separated, and my divorce was final in mid-August. My ex-wife (also an American) had a job that required travel (it's how I became interested in China) and she spent most of her time in the U.K. over the last year making it difficult to fit in the court dates to finalize everything. Also I have no children from the marriage. So my question is, is this a reason for concern? Or is it more significant when the beneficiary is recently divorced? Also there is an age gap with my fiancee, but on the positive side, she speaks excellent English and should be able to explain the situation if needed. So my concern is the divorce and also the speed of the relationship with my new found love. Even though we have only known each other since June we have either texted, or video chatted on Skype twice a day for hours since meeting. We have gotten to know each other so well that we are now watching videos, reading stories to each other, and asking trivia questions just to keep the conversation going. I have hundreds of pages of chat logs if needed. I think we have ask and answered just about every personal and relationship question possible. Also, we spent two weeks together in late August, and we will meet again in late November for another two weeks. This is my first attempt at sponsoring anyone for a visa. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I was married to a chinese woman but after she recieved the green card everything thing change and we went our seperate ways. That was about a year and a half ago. In the mean time, I had a language exchange pen pal that I made friends with back in 2008. Only chatted a few times a month, nothing major. But now we became more then just friends. The relationship has grown stronger for about a year now and she was a lot of support after my divorce. I've been to China twice (Sept, 2013 for 3 weeks and Feb, 2014 for 2 weeks) to see her and even though she really would like if I moved there, I told her with my investment properties it won't be that easy so I said she could come here on the K-1 Visa. She worries about a couple of things. One being that we were friends when I was still married so she thinks the VO will think she was the cause of the divorce. The other is that since the marriage was so short (ending right after my ex received the 10 GC) she will worry the VO will think I'm marrying a 2nd chinese woman to do the same thing. I told her enough time had passed. All my papers are almost ready to be sent but she just wants to make sure we are not going to waste or time and money waiting to find out that she will just get the blue slip when that time comes. Has any other member here been married to a chinese woman only to divorce and then want to petition another woman from china or any other country about a year and a half later? Thanks -
Well i can already see I'm going to have GOLD thingies before i know it at this rate. As some may know I'm helping my sister in-law and her new guy with the paper work I-130 ( Could be a red flag right out of the gate) For the last few days i have been searching CFL for up to date info. Most current (That i could find was 2009-2010) and most were White slips. I understand the process is faster but is GUZ still saying NO!!! This guy ( Sister in-laws future husband) is a very nice guy BUT lives back in the stone ages. He is very smart and has a great job. The thing is, He has a real problem with technology (Computers, smart phones, web cams and so on) and this is why I'm doing everything for them. (another red flag) How he found my sister in-law in the first place? God only knows! I could really use some help from current members and or the ones that just finished the process. don't matter, K1, K3, CR1, IR1 what ever. I could also use some current info of front loading. Back in 06 when hong and i stared this process i only gave what they asked for and nothing else. We back loaded on interview day. ( kitchen sink,) and it worked, Kinda. ( See time line) As i said most current info is from 2009-2010 and most if not all were for a INA 221(g) not a valid relationship. I would love to here from ya all what is going on with GUZ now days 2012. Thanks. Mike

Hi All - I'm mostly active on the VisaJourney website but wanted to post here to get some opinions. We already filed our K1 in November 2010 so we dont have much of an opportunity to change anything in the petition, however for the P3 and P4 I have the following concern. My divorce was finalized on November 16, 2010 and we filed the K1 11 days later on Nov 27. The basic story behind this is as follows: JoAnne and I have been seeing each other since March 2006. I moved to China in July 2008 and lived there until March 2010. In May 2010, my wife and I filed for divorce and in California there is a six month waiting period. The Divorce was final on November 16, 2010. I was contemplating using the services of a lawyer but at this point everything has been handled on our own. The question for anyone with expertise or experience here is this: Is there any thing that I should prepare in writing that describes the events and what questions related to this should JoAnne be prepared to answer during her interview at GUZ? i.e. how can I minimize this fact from becoming an issue?

My wife, origanally applied for a I-129f visa. It was denied for the not a bonafide relationship, and sent back to USCIS for review, USCIS received it in Jan 09 . After we were denied, I returned to China and we were married and now have our I-130 knocking on GUZ's door, the NVC sent it to them in Aug. What should we do if in fact we get a letter from USCIS stating our I-129f has been denied or revoked, especially if she is granted a visa on our I-130? Do we just reply that we have applied for an I-130 and no longer want to continue the I-129f process. Thanks, Gary -
hi everyone i have had 2 white slips and i dont know what to do anymore. my first one was for a K3 visa we were given the white slip because they thought it was not a bona fide relationship. so we decided to get married and file a Cr-1. we were given a white slip again for the same reason. is there any other routes we can take after this or am i out of options? can we file the same petition over again? and is there anyway we can check the status of the case when it reaches USCIS? thank you in advance for all your help.

Hello All: I have a question about how a prior divorce affects the VISA process. I have been living in China for about 2 years and dating a Chinese girl. She was technically still married when we first fell in love and started dating, though the marriage was almost non-existent. He was gone a majority of the time and they barely interacted with each other. She has finally gotten a divorce and now we are planning to begin the VISA process in pursuit of a fiance visa. My question is, would it be better for us to wait another year before starting the process since a large part of our relationship was spent together when she was still married, on paper. I imagine that it might look like she is just trying to get out of the prior marriage and marry me to get to America. That is, of course, not the case at all. I would have no issue with this and would gladly wait another year before beginning this process, except that I will need to go back to the US to begin a new job. So if we should wait we will have to spend close to a year apart while the VISA processes, I guess. I don't like the idea of being apart so long. But I also don't want to try to push this through and ruin a chance at a VISA altogether.Does anyone have some experience in this matter or advice about it? Thanks for your help.
