Q: Wanting to file petition I130 for fiancé. Was previously married in which he recieved his green card. Could I file again

Previous marriage ended in separation a year he received his green card. I was to finalize the divorce in Oct 2017. I was never able to reach him since he left home and I never heard back from him. Would it complicate things if I want to file a petition for my soon to be husband?

A: As long as you are legally divorced, there's no problem filing an immigration petition for a second spouse.
