Past marriages a problem?

I'm a US citizen. Born here. I generally tend to date guys from other coutnries. Its just my personal preference. I was married to an immigrant a few years ago, but we broke it off pretty soon, because he quickly fell into a gambling addiction, and refused to get help. I just couldn't stand it, he was making us broke and lying to me. I didn't even bother file for a green card for him...

But now I've met someone else, and I really care for him. He's also an immigrant (surprise, surprise). We'd like to get married, but I'm just worried that the fact that I've been married to an immigrant before might look bad.

Does immigration check into the past marriages of the U.S. citizen? Do they even care who you've been married to before? I want to know this before I apply.

Thanks
 
If you did not sponsored him its no big deal, it is a bit negative if you have gotten the first guy a green card and show up with guy #2, they do verify if you were the sponsor for residency if the ex spouse was a foreign born individual.
 
I am a US citizen also. I was engaged to a filipina. I applied with her for a marriage license in the Philippines but I left before a marriage ceremony could be done but she and her family and the town mayor (have no proof but pretty good guess that the mayor was bribed) still executed a "certificate of marriage" with my signature forged and many other false enteries. I am thinking of doing an annulment in my state (nevada) - it is not difficult just cost money. So my question is: once I have the annulment in hand so I still have to tell uscis about this false marriage ?
