What to o if I am a LPR who got married 3 years ago and I now want to petition for my husband who is in UK?
Is it OK for me to petition for him because my green card was through a previous marriage which ended in a divorce and I got my GC. Do I have to submit anything from my previous marriage in this petition because I came to know that one cannot petition for current spouse for 5 years from date of GC approval? Or in short what is the impact of previous marriage on this petition? Or is it best for me to wait until become a citizen?

Hello. You can still petition your new husband. They may ask for some evidence of the prior marriage, but if is was a bona fide relationship, you have nothing to fear. It will be much faster once you get your citizenship. You can upgrade the file and inform them later once you naturalize. We can help you whenever you are ready. [email protected].
