Husband already married

[lagosguy]

A friend of mine dated a guy for two years and they got married, it was during the green card interview that it was discovered that the fellow got married a decade ago but did not complete the divorce process, hence the current marriage to my friend is illegal. Is there any Legal avenue available to her?

This is a real quandary.

Who is the U.S. citizen, your friend or the twice-married husband?

A response describing your friend's options depends on whether she is the beneficiary or the husband is the beneficiary.
