Petitioning for Wife having already petitioned (and been approved for) my ex-wife

[emc2010]

Hi all! Thanks so much for your time looking over my post. I married my ex-wife about 5 years ago and petitioned for her to get a green card. She obtained it and shortly after divorced me. Now a few years later I've re-married, however, I would like to petition again for my new wife. We've been married happily for over 2 years now and I would like to know if I would have any problems with the petition given that I've already petitioned once for another person (my ex-wife). According to the USCIS website a petitioner who has filed previous petitions in behalf of aliens, especially prior alien spouses, may raise concerns, but does anyone have any idea what this could entail or experience with filing a petition for a new wife? Thanks again for your time and help!

They might scrutinize your first marriage in addition to your second marriage. Be prepared to supply evidence that your first marriage was bona fide.

How long did the first marriage last? Did your ex-wife leave the US permanently after divorcing you? If yes, that makes things easier for you, as such a departure is an indicator that it wasn't a sham marriage just to get a green card.
