Non-Baptized Buddist

My fiance and I have been engaged for 3 months. My case is very similar to Case #2 with the following additions. I am a baptized non-Catholic, previously married who wishes to convert as a Catholic and seeking to marry a Catholic for a Sacrament Marriage.

My previous marriage was to a non-baptized buddist and was only entered into marriage for INS purposes. He was incarcerated and a 'criminal alien' who was looking to be deported. I am a u.s. citizen. We signed the mlicenseliscense at the State Prison.

He eventually got released and a dissolution of marriage has been entered and finalized.

We have been told that we cannot be married in the Catholic church. We both want this to be a sacrament marriage. what can we do? will another priest perform the ceremony for us in another catholic church? we don't have much time because parents on both side needs a date and i read that some of the cases take 6 months to 1 year.

We would like to start a family right away. one year is an awfully long time.
