K1: Divorce and remarriage to another party
My wife came to the US on a K-1 Visa. A year after their
marriage she got a divorce. She filed a I571 to remove the
condition on her green card. We've been renewing the visa
annually while it is pending. We I married last year, 1
1/2 years after the divorce. We sent copies of the
marriage materials to our account number at the USCIS
office. What do we need to do? Do I need to fill out a K-1
application for her? Do we just wait for the I571 to run
its course? Thanks for any help.

Re: K1: Divorce and remarriage to another party
You may want to hire an attorney, on an hourly basis, to look into why the I-751 has not yet been adjudicated. This may prove more cost effective than refiling, as refiling will not resolve the pending I-751, and it will need to be addressed. If you would like assistance from my office, please contact me by telephone or email.
My best wishes.

You should consider filing a marraige-based petition for her on your own. Sending evidence of a new marriage doesn't do much for the present petition.
