I am an indian businessman with my businesses across India, Middle East and Africa. I am a muslim by religion. I was married in the year 2000 to an Indian girl and have 3 kids with this marriage. We got separated in the year 2008. It was not a legal divorce but just a "Separation by will"
I met my present wife in the year 2009. She is a US passport holder. We have been living together since then. I did not had any intentions to move to USA (as i have my kids in India) and my business is spread mostly in India, Africa and Middle East.
She lived with me where ever i was, India, Dubai, Africa. We finally decided to get married. And we got married in India in the year 2015.
We wanted to start the business in USA and we formed a company in the year 2013, but we could not take it up, as we were busy with the existing businesses in other parts of the world.
Now the issue is, i want to go to USA....................
I came to know that the US immigration laws do not accept a second marriage if a man is already married to a woman already.
Now,
Shall i apply for a business visa?
If so, do i need to mention the separation status with my first wife in the application? Do i mention my married status to my American wife?
Immigration visa filed by spouse?
If my wife applies for a spouse visa for me, it seems that our marriage is not legal unless i divorce my first wife. Accepted and agreed !!
But if i divorce her now, it means that i first got married to my american wife, then i am divorcing my first wife. So it means my marriage to my present wife is null and void.
I dont want a US passport, i just want to have a valid visa to travel to USA with my wife when ever needed. I wont mind a green card though.
How do i proceed?
What kind of visa should i apply?
