Re: annulment
Dear Inquirer:
If you filed the first I-751 jointly with your first husband, then you will need to withdraw the I-751 if you would like to re-file under the "good faith marriage" waiver provision. If the USCIS has already terminated your status, however, you may be able to refile for adjustment of status based on your new marriage. Since your second marriage was invalid from the beginning, you do not need an annulment.
I recommend that you email [email protected] or visit www.hanlonlawgroup.com if you would like to schedule an appointment for a confidential consultation to discuss this matter further.
Re: annulment
If you married this "someone else" before divorcing the "american citizen husband", you may have committed bigamy, which could further compound whatever problems that your pending application with USCIS may already have accumulated.
I would suggest that you arrange for a consulation with an attorney conversant with American immigration law and with whom you can review the relevant facts and particular documents which may apply to your particular situation.
