Perilous Road To Green Cards Through Second Marriages

In general, obtaining permanent residence through marriage is one of the easier paths to winning a green card.

The same cannot be said about winning lawful residency status via a second (or third) marriage.

There are two remarriage situations which the government views with extra scrutiny.

In the first, the immigrant spouse was granted a green card via her first marriage.  Now she seeks to immigrate a new husband.

In the second, the immigrant did not win a green card through the first marriage.  After divorce and remarriage, a new spouse seeks to petition her once again.

Both scenarios present complications surpassing the difficulty level of succes in first marriages.
