Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hello!

My name is Elizabeth, I'm originally from Russia. I'm getting married soon and hope to apply for the green card, but - before that I've been married 2 times. First time 2 years ago to USA citizen, divorced in 2 months. Later I got married with a international student from Russia, got annulment after 9 moths of marriage. Both times I got married in San Diego and got divorced in Las Vegas. Both times I didn't file for any documents anywhere (I mean, Immigration service). Now everyone is telling me that the meeting with US SIC this time will be a nightmare because they will assume that my marriage is a fraud (which it is not) and gonna separate us and try to push my husband into confession or smth. Is it true? what can I do to minimize the "pressure"? will the authorities ask a lot about my previous marriages?

thank you.
