Immigration Site

Hi - I am a US citizen. I got the citizenship by marrying an american citizen. I got my conditional green card in July 2004 and my citizenship in 2007. I have two kids with my wife. We are going thru divorce now and i was wondering how long do i have to wait before i can (1) get married (2) sponsor my new wife (spouse visa)?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Since you became a LPR in 2004 you can file for your spouse immediately after your divorce. The requirement is only for 5 years after getting the LPR status.

Thanks alot. I just wanted to make sure that i didnt have to wait any time period before filing.

Just keep in mind, certain states have a waiting period for remarrying after a divorce.
