    Can my wife get a green card
    I am u.s citizen I filled a Petition for my wife in Amman, Jordan when my application was rejected because I have got married from my Second wife in Jordan 08/25/2006 and I was separated from my First wife Jan/2006 and I was in progress of getting a divorce which it was done in Rhode island Jan/03/2007 after the second marriage Which I did not do anything illegal in Jordan by marrying a second wife wile still not completely divorced from The first one not realizing that going to be a problem for me when filing Petition for my wife when we came to a dead end solution for filling petition for my wife which I have from her now 3 kids all u.s citizens and I have 4 other kids from the first wife still living in the U.S.A which I need to go back to be with them and I need to get them together with there sisters here and step mother. Which it has already passed 4 years for this divorce which I did not realize my mistake till this point and it's going to affect me later. Can a lawyer fix this problem in the U.S.A if my wife comes by visa with me to U.S.A? If the problem can not be solved should we get married again in U.S.A ? Please help.
    This is what u.s embassy in Jordan told me (In order to petition for your current wife, you must have married her after the legal termination of any prior marriages. This is the only way that your current marriage is valid under U.S immigration law. )
    Thank you

    Yes, you need an Attorney and, yes, the Attorney gave you legal advice.

    You are not legally married by US law. Your marriage will start with the date of your remarriage.
