Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying your summer.
I'll try to briefly explain the situation and ask the questions at the end.
I married my wife 4 years ago (she's a US citizen), she was already pregnant by someone else when we got married (First red flag), a couple of weeks after we got married, we tried to do a petition for me so I could start working and she could stay at home, it was denied right away because I didn't have everything I needed (state ID...how was I supposed to legally get it?? eh, whatever).
We lived with her mom throughout her pregnancy, stayed there a few more months. It was very frustrating, I didn't feel comfortable to illegally get a job (I know many do it, but I get paranoid!). We couldn't afford to keep the child, so we decided to let her mother adopt the child, which she did.
After a while, we decided to go our separate ways, after a few months we decided to give it a try again (at this point it's been 2 years since we got married). She's a very troubled woman, she's been arrested for drugs and crazy things like that (another red flag), we tried for a while and again, we decided to part.
So after a while, WE TRIED YET AGAIN! We're living together (third year), she confesses to me she's pregnant again, to discover that again, it's not my child.... you can imagine how I felt. This time we promised we wouldn't give her child to her mother, we decided to keep her. We're having trouble again and we're thinking of ending this already.
Now my question is. After being married for 4 years, her having that criminal record I mentioned, her having 2 children that aren't mine, separated many times. What would be the outcome of a petition?? Will it backfire on me? She feels really bad for some of the things she's done, and she says she would remain married to me during the petition.
Thanks in advance and hope you didn't fall asleep he he.
