Was there a real marriage before this current one?

Yes with kids but honestly i paid someone to perfect my divorce decree back home not none to me that its wasn't real.

Actually that might help, at least you have someone to divorce, obviously this time legally, and then you can remarry.

 

Well that is my take and does not avoid the need for competent legal advice.

I don't know what that means......was the divorce decree you submitted to USCIS fraudulent?

See this note from the Department of State :

"Comments: Documenting a legal divorce is problematic.  Each type of marriage listed above has its own legal process for obtaining a divorce, thus it is essential to first understand what type of marriage took place before determining what documentation is acceptable to prove that a divorce is legal. "

 

Again, you would need to provide more details, and I suggest you seek legal counsel.

That was my take.

To summarize:

 

1. OP said he was married back home.

2. He then applied for Tourist Visa, came to the US, married USC while divorcing his wife from back home in the process.

3. He paid someone to take care of the other divorce in Nigeria. The person seems to have taken his money and given him a fake divorce certificate. 

 

We've now started playing musical chairs in terms of getting to know the truth.

 

Seriously, how do you come to US on tourist visa, married & with kids, all of a sudden decide to marry USC, divorce your spouse all while sitting comfortably in US??? Why didn't you obtain tourist visa for the whole family?

 

I'm calling this early. This was done for GC purposes. OP will soon be back, trying to petition for the original wife and kids after he gets his GC and divorces USC. This pattern is so common that I can smell it an ocean away.

 

I'm out.

Without dates and more details, it is not clear that he arrived to the US while married.  Big mess.

Well I assume he was married before he got the B2 otherwise there are other issues.

I got it from his storyline. 

 

Nonetheless, him obtaining B-2, then trying to divorce before arriving in the US won't fly. This is gonna be even more suspicious and an IO will be really interested in this. Anyway, he wouldn't then need to pay someone to take care of his divorce. He could have handled it himself while still in Nigeria.

 

Additionally, tourist visa is valid for a long time. I know the period authorized is what is short. So had he entered single, wouldn't it been wise to go back home after the authorization period is up and come back freely again?

 

My bet is that his overstay was because he was probably arranging his marriage to USC or had got married right off the plane and was doing the "180 day or so myth" that people keep talking about. 

 

My money is on still on the table that this is a GC marriage. OP knew what he was upto.

 

Call a spade a spade. Not a big spoon.

Possibly catastrophic issues.......time for a very expensive immigration attorney (and even that might not be enough).  He has issues in Nigeria as well as the US.

I would recommend you write it own.

Dates and timeline of events for January 2016 and back it up with evidence

If you can honestly and easily convince yourself of that the timeline is true and correct in less then 5 minutes, then hire a lawyer to assist you and you have a little chance.

 

Else hire the lawyer and get assistance on how you should proceed.

 

Either way you will need a good lawyer to assist you out of this 'entanglement'

I am currently married with my new wife and we have kid and we are living in the USA. USCIS said my current marriage is not valid until I prove that my previous marriage in Nigeria was dissolved properly thru a valid divorce.

If you are here in the US on a spousal visa that you obtained fraudulently, you will be deported.

From what we seem to know, it looks like a B2/AOS.  As others have implied, and I agree, quite an entertaining thread.
