Q: US citizen sponsoring 2nd husband

A: Anytime an American sponsors a Spouse for the second time, that case will receive extra scrutiny. You should retaine counsel here in Florida for representation. Some of us charge a reasonable flat rate fee with no hidden costs.

A: The fact that one has previously sponsored an ex-spouse does not automatically foreclose sponsoring a second spouse. USCIS will simply look at your facts to make sure this is not, e.g., a pattern and practice of marrying foreign individuals, for example, to earn money. The measure for approval is whether the intended beneficiary is entering the marriage in good faith. As you describe your facts, having a child with your second spouse, I imagine you both should be in good shape for an approval of the petition for relative to be filed for your second spouse. That being said, consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate all of your facts to give an informed opinion. Many attorneys offer online video consultations.

A: The process of sponsoring your second husband for a green card may be more complicated than if you had not sponsored your first husband before. This is because USCIS may be more likely to scrutinize your second marriage if you have a history of divorce.

However, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier:

* Make sure that you have a strong marriage. This means being able to provide evidence of a genuine relationship, such as joint bank accounts, shared bills, and photos of the two of you together.

* Be prepared to answer questions about your previous marriage. USCIS may ask you why you divorced your first husband and whether you are likely to divorce your second husband.

* Be honest and upfront with USCIS. Do not try to hide any information about your past or your current marriage.

If you are able to do these things, you will increase your chances of having your second husband's green card application approved.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

* The process of sponsoring a spouse for a green card can take several months or even years.

* You may be required to attend an interview with a USCIS officer.

* The USCIS officer has the discretion to deny a green card application for any reason.

If you have any questions about the process of sponsoring your second husband for a green card, you should speak with an immigration attorney. An attorney can help you assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
