Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I am applying for citizenship and now am a green card holder. We immigrated to the US on a lottery visa 9 years ago. I have been married three times and am married to my my third wife now. I divorced my first wife verbally which is legally recognized in the country I come from. I do not and have not practice polygamy and have a legal document dated some years later showing the divorce of the first wife to be legal and final at the time of the verbal divorce. Should I be concerned at the time of my interview? All of these documents were reviewed at the time of my immigration here 9 years ago by the US consulate.

I've never heard of that, but that doesn't mean what you've got isn't the real deal. Honestly though, I would have to examine the documentation and research the law of your country to se if A plus B equals C, in this case, that you were free to marry when you married wives 2 and 3. I assume your end of marriage with wife 2 is OK, but you'll need that documentation for the interview and that should be examined too.
