More details to this question:
I recently got my divorce, finally but have been living with my fiancé over a year. He was arrested few months back by mistake but unfortunately is in the system and still working on his case. No marriages are allowed while he is in county. We had planned on getting married and trying to figure out how to do this. If the charges are dismissed, he may still go to immigration although he has permission to be here.
