Immediately.
The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.
Jesus said, "Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Mark 10:9)
However there may be hope of a declaration of nullity.
The term "annulment" is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.
Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.
Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.
With love in Christ.

soon as the annulment is done. You are free to marry your love in a Catholic Church.

Two seconds. Hopefully you've chosen a nice Catholic man this time!

Once the second instance is approved, you are free to marry....
...but for the record, you are also NOT free to date until that point. If you do, you are guilty of adultery- even if you do not have sex.

Isn't it an ANNULMENT? Canon law says you are unmarried, so immediately.
