THe UAE regonises the marriage, the US does not and she wants to move to the US.

You are not getting it.

 

The US does not recognize her polygamous marriage as valid FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES.  It doesn't mean that the marriage is not recognized as legal for other purposes.

Correct.  The OP needs to determine what needs to be done in her own country to become free to marry in such a way the US will recognize the marriage FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES, then marry legally.  Sticky issue, with first actions OUTSIDE THE USA.

1.  That the marriage must be dissolved prior to entering into a marriage that WILL BE recognized for US Immigration purposes.

2.  The marriage is recognized elsewhere as legal

3.  The marriage makes her too married for a fiancee visa

4.  Marriage recognized enough that any children are considered legitimate

 

Maybe more too.  That's just the first four examples that come to mind.

Wonder if he filed as married, perhaps the obvious one.

Withdraw your application now.  You need to start over AFTER you are married in a way that will be recognized for US Immigration.

No, you can not update the application.  At the time your husband filed the I-130, you were not eligible for an immigration benefit since you are a 2nd wife in a polygamous marriage.  You must first fix your polygamous marriage situation, remarry, and file a new I-130 where you are qualified for an immigration benefit.

Hi Again i want to ask since im still in administrative process if i manage to marry again 

Is it possible that i can put this certificate in ceac with the explanation letter.

Is this possible  or in all cases i need to start the application again

You filed a petition for which your partner was not eligible.  You'll have to start over.

You keep asking the same question over and over again.  At the time of the petition being filed, your husband was married to two women.  Bigamy is ILLEGAL in all 50 states.

 

There is no way to salvage this without a brand new petition.

 Perhaps your husband could join this thread?

@Hanan elaI would like to ask if USCIS had decided on your form I-130? If no decision yet, may I know when you filed? 

Obviously they did, since she's had an interview.

There is a difference between recognizing a marriage as legal and getting an immigration benefit.

 

Similar to being able to adopt your relative in your home country and getting an immigration benefit for that adopted child. 

I'm surprised they would waste time and resources to approve such petitions, when no visa will ever be issued to the second wife.
