Re: Immigration Remarriage

Remarrying another person would not necessarily preclude the alien from completing his or her permanent residence process and becoming a "green card" holder. The real question to ask is whether the original marriage on which the family-based immigration petition was based was bona-fide. It is also important to know at what stage in the process the final divorce decree was obtained. Contact an immigration attorney to get a specific answer to your specific situation.

The above reply is in the nature of general information, is not legal advice and should not be relied on as such.
