I would strongly recommend seeking the advice of a lawyer now, to get all the correct information you can.  You do not want to lessen the chances of your fiance to come back to or stay in your country.  If you are in the U.S., you can apply for a fiance visa, but if you get married first while he is here on a tourist visa, he may very well have to go back to his country first and wait for the visa to be approved, depending on how long the tourist visa is for.\n\nIt really is best to get all of your facts straight before proceeding.  Consult a lawyer this coming week, and/or go read through all of the immigration information on your country's immigration website.  Best to be informed and ready to deal with whatever you have to deal with.\n\nBest of luck!

You can get married now and apply to adjust status right after.  Once she is your wife, she is immediately eligible for a visa number and permanent residency, regardless of what her status is now.  The only problem is that in your interview you have to prove you have a bona fide marriage, and its going to raise a red flag that you got married right after she went out of status.  Just make sure you have plenty of proof (photos, bank statements, etc.) that your marriage is legitimate, and not just for immigration purposes.

Send out notices through regular USPS mail. Just type up a simple letter on regular paper or fancy paper stating that due to finanical problems you will be post poning the wedding until further notice.

Under Immigration law the US Citizen files the petition for the alien spouse.  The US Citizen can withdraw the petition at anytime prior to the government granting the permanent green card.  A two year card is a conditional (or temporary) green card.\n\nBy him telling the immigration that your marriage was "not in good faith" he has done two things:\n\nHe has withdrawn his petition for you and:\n\nHe has put it on record that you knowingly committed fraud.\n\nWhile the government may not go after you criminally (there is a chance, but a slim one), you do not have status in the US and will be required to return to your home.\n\nIf your new boyfriend marries you, then you will be fighting an uphill battle in proving to the government that this second marriage was NOT in good faith.\n\nAn important factor will be the divorce record.  You "left him" (abandoned your first husband) and you presumably engaged in immoral conduct by having a boyfriend while still legally married.\n\nIn the government's eyes you are NOT a good person.\n\nYou could fight it )request a hearing before an immigration judge), but what PROOF do you have to counter the image the government now has of you?\n\nIf you lose, then you become a "previously deported alien."  Then there is I think a 5 year bar to re-entry.\n\nThe other choice is to go home on your own and after a "respectable" period of time (i.e. AFTER your divorce) you become engaged to #2, marry and then come back on a K visa.\n\nSince your conditional green card has already expired, you are now an illegal alien (an overstay).\n\nYou won't be able to be legally employed.  Your husband can complaint to the government that you are engaged in crimes (crimes other than adultery with boyfriend such as drugs - without proof) and if he convinces an ICE agent to do so, you will be picked up.  Or they could send you a notice to appear.\n\nBy the way, in addition to being out of status (offense #1), if you did not update your address with immigration you have committed offense #2 and possibly more.\n\nThis is time sensitive.  Your decision is go home on your own and return later, or go through immigration procedings and possibly be deported as undesireable.\n\nYour choice.\n\nAnd don't further your image with the government by lying.

There is no speedy way to get a fiance visa, it takes time (about 4-6 months).  All you can do is make sure you fill out all the forms correctly, provide all information that is requested and have plenty of evidence of ongoing relationship.\n\nWhile you are waiting for your approval, you can start having your fiance see about getting  police clearances, get all the required vacinations, etc. so that when you do get the approval, you'll be ready to submit your package 3 to the embassy right away.

You need to find a lawyer. The lawyer can help get the documents in order based on the current state of your husband's estate.

You must be either a naturalized US citizen or a legal permanent resident to petition your fiancee.  If you are "out of Status" meaning that you are essentially an "illegal immigrant," you can not petition for your fiancee.\n\nLook at the BCIS website for more information.  Good luck!!

This is for marriage with a US citizen only.\n\nIf the marriage occurs abroad, the petition for green card must be filed through a U.S. Consulate with jurisdiction over the applicants place of residence. The process typically takes 6 months or longer. \n\nHowever, the applicant may work and live in the U.S. from the date of filing. Thus the processing period (typicall longer 12 - 18 months) is not as inconvenient as it would seem since she or he can reside with the fiance.  As a result, many newly weds prefer to undertake the entire green card application process in the U.S.

I met my fiance 3 months ago the nite before i moved out of my husbands house to another state.  I continued my moved.  He visited me the next week.  We talked on the phone.  He moved me back 1 month later.  We are so in love and are planning our wedding in Aruba.  All things are possible.

Just go. Let him be the one to do the legal thing. My husband's ex-wife did it (new husband in military) and they moved to Hawaii (we live in Louisiana). We have not seen my husband's daughter in almost 3 years because they transferred again and we've no idea where they are.

If he submitted any form he should have gotten a receipt notice fairly quick. My advice would be for him to schedule an appointment to check if they ever got the application. I hope he sent it through certified mail and if he has a copy of the application he should take that too. He should take any legal document pertaining to his application. Keep in mind that the receipt notice comes quick, what takes a while is processing. Good Luck

You sign your name then put 'POA' after your signature.  Include a copy of the POA with the paperwork.

Well, hopefully she will become your wife and you will live happily ever after.  Wasn't that the goal when you proposed to her?  If you are having some doubts, I'd suggest a serious conversation with your fiancee rather than asking a bunch of strangers here.  I hope that it all goes well!

If you get married while you are still a resident, you can petition for him as an immediate relative, but he will not be able to apply for his residency until either you naturalize, his priority date becomes current, or he applies on his own (i.e. through employment). As a resident, the fiancee or spouse visa is not available to you.\n\nMy suggestion would be to go ahead and get married, file the immediate relative petition, and have him extend his work visa (assuming he is not maxed out on his time in that particular classification). Then just wait out the time until you naturalize. Once you become a citizen, he will automatically move to the front of the line and can apply for his green card based on marriage to a citizen, as opposed to a resident. \n\nIf he has maxed out his time on his work visa, then he will either need to find an alternative visa classification or plan on returning home.\n\nGood luck!
