Delray Beach, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

You may petition for your second wife immediately. Recently the FB-2a category was close to current so I would recommend this in case it jumps forward again. In any case the first stage is identical to what is required once you become a U.S. citizen so you are getting that stage out of the way. If you become a U.S. citizen before her Priority Date is current you can upgrade the case easily to immediate relative. For each and every marital filing the burden is on you to prove your current marriage is in good faith. Unless the government determined that your first marriage was fraudulent there is no need to include this evidence but you will be noting the name and date of birth of child. The five year rule you may be thinking of is that you may not file for citizenship until 4 years and 9 months after you became a PR - 90 days before your 5 year anniversary (It would have been 2 years and 9 months if you were still married to a USC). If we can help you with the permanent residency process for your current wife, contact me for a quote on fees, procedures, and timing.

Strange things have happened with these types of cases. I have represented clients on both sides in this situation. You may want to invest in a consultation with an experienced Immigration Attorney now who can guide you at this point. The consequences may be great so speak with one of us BEFORE it may become too late. Many, like myself, will even do these over the telephone to accommodate clients.

It appears that you encountered a rude coming to the US, but you do not have a criminal record. As you signed a withdrawal of application for admission, your visa was canceled. For you to reenter the US, you would have to convince an American consular officer to issue you another one.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
