Ok I live at the boarder with Mexico and being Mexican American most of my friends are currently Mexican. I met my ex wife while in college (she had student Visa) and i married her after dating for over 5 years. Our marriage only lasted 3 and a half years. We got married in May of 2008 and applied for her green card in Aug. 2008 (we decided to live in the U.S. and not in Mexico) By the end of October we got the interview and she got her green card. She got her residence card this year and she applied for a divorce shortly after, I mean, we were already separated seeing different people. Now that I'm divorced, I'm engaged and I would like to marry my fiance in 2013, but we're not sure if I can sponsor her for a green card since we want to live in the U.S. Will there be a problem applying for her after getting married this year?
Can I sponsor my current wife after sponsoring ex?

You will be scrutinized thoroughly however if you marriage is bonafide AND you make sure all your paperwork is set, you have a lot of evidence, prepare thoroughly, and display good chemistry at the interview, you will be fine.
Divorces though unfortunate, happen in life.
Best.

Thanks for the reply! Yes divorce does happen and I hate the fact this looks really sketchy but we did get married "for reals" and not to get her green card. We were about to live in Mexico (I have dual citizenship) since she got a job offer in Monterrey, Mexico until I got a really good job offer in the U.S. and we decided to stay in the U.S. and that's when we applied for her green card. Sadly after a few years of marriage and of course our 5 and a half years dating and living together, things just didn't work out. We separated and started seeing different people, one of which is my current fiance (who I've known since elementary school)
Our marriage will be legitimate we even plan on having kids as soon as we get married, and since I have a good job in the U.S. and she just wants to be a home maker, we want to live in the U.S. and not in Mexico.

If they decide to deeply scrutinize you, it's the first marriage they'd be more concerned about than the current marriage. To a suspicious eye it could look like the first short marriage was a fake marriage just to get her a green card, and now you're in the real marriage. Be prepared to dig up old documents to demonstrate that the first marriage was bona fide.
ok thnx for the reply. Yeah my ex wife has all the documents I mean, we even have traveling pictures and our honey moon pictures so we wouldn't spend all that money on something fake. Plus we had our home loans together. Those loans are still not paid off so We gotta see how to deal with that as well.
