Re: Bigamy and immigration

There seems to be a lot of issues going on all at once.

What is your current immigration status?

Are you a green card holder or a US citizen?

If you married your second husband while still being married to your first then the second marriage is not valid, which of course, will affect your second husband's immigration status.

There are other issues that I can see from the information you have provided that also need to be addressed as well.
