That probably pertains to your second marriage which is not right in the eyes of the US law and could get you in some trouble over here.

Yep. Two “active” marriages and being from a high fraud country puts OP it hot water.

YOur post surprised us all

you can not stay married to both and the US spouse deserves better than someone who cheats

 

i know  the culture (AND LAWS) of both

and you do not respect either Islamic Laws or US laws

Islamic laws say u need the approval to marry a second wife and court has to see she (by actual proof it is her) ok 's this

and as for Massachusetts ,, it is a felony to marry more than one at a time

 

Felony is prison time

and your job posibilites are limited when convicted

only way US is your home now is in a US prison when massachusetts finds out you are quility of bigamy

 

I always support Moroccans who want a better life whether thru marriage to a USC or Dv lottery or a student or work visa

but what u are asking is support for breaking laws     NO WAY

 

 

I agree that you disagree with my approach to this Site. What you need to understand is that In Massachusetts law, technically I am married to my spouse and have a normal life which is true! Any other marriage outside of America is not recognized as legal because it’s under a different law in a different country.

I’m not here asking for your blessing or your approval. I am here seeking guidance and help because I am Married legally in Morocco and I just got blessed with my first baby. If you read my topic, you will see that my 1 spouse can’t have babies. (This itself is a good reason to marry a second wife in Islamic law).

I completely understand that this subject may make you feel uncomfortable but I am not cheating and I am simply following the law of Morocco and the law of Islam. 

 I hope we are not dragging ourselves away from the main subject which is my baby’s right to obtain his citizenship.

Not only that; being married to two people in the US at the same time makes you a felon, whether your spouse is here or not.

My bad, chose the wrong words. Being a us citizen and married to two people at the same time makes you a felon. Anyhow, don’t want to distract from the main issue, which Is the child’s citizenship. Good luck!

[JeanneAdil 6,581]

it is not your approach to VJ site that worries me

you are saying a court approved of second marriage and your 1st wife said ok?   then she is part of the conspiracy to bigamy

 

i am sure u knew (we all talk about this before marrying) that your wife could not have children,   u could adopt,  not marry another

citzenship for the child,  not if u committed marriage fraud and married her when u knew she could not have children and u wanted to get that Green card

Yup, that’s what I’m reading too. Conveniently, a court in Morocco approved the second marriage, not in the US. That’s what would make him a felon if they found out in the US. I’m assuming, also, that he married the second wife after he became a citizen. If not, he would have had to lie on the questions about having been married before in the many, many immigration forms that he had to fill out. If he did, that’s misrepresentation.

 

This situation smells a little bit weird.

The correct question should be; Can I apply for a Citizenship for my child under CRBA and then get his US passport under these circumstances? 
(Recently married and have a new baby abroad while my first marriage in America is still active)

"Active"?  Jeez.

 

You do realize that you have no means to bring over the other "wife," even if your baby gets a CRBA?  Your child could petition her when he/she is 21.

Hello Visajourney,

I am a US citizen (Citizenship approved), I have been in the US for years, married to a US citizen wife (Citizenship by birth). We have no children because she can’t have them (Health related).

During this Pandemic situation (Covid-19), I had to move temporarily to my home country. It has been over a year now! During this time I got married to a new wife and I was blessed with my first baby. (Couple months old).

I understand logically that my second wife can not travel to the US because of the Marriage circumstances (Married to 2 spouses). 
My question is: Can I apply for my child to come to the US?

I was told this:

(You may report your child's birth abroad but under U.S. law, your marriage in Morocco would not be recognized. Your baby would therefore be considered to have been born out-of-wedlock.

Having to produce your Marriage Certificate does present another issue if an out-of-wedlock child in Morocco may not be granted derivative citizenship.)

How many years were you in the USA before you returned to Morocco? 

Are you planning on taking your child to the US, leaving the mother without her child and (most likely) no ability to visit her child in the USA? 

Will you raise your child with your first wife? Is your first wife aware of your new baby? 

 

You might be able to obtain citizenship for your child. But, you should also investigate if Morocco will allow you to take your baby to the States without the mother/ check if your second wife will consent to you taking your child alone.

He avoids answering the question "did court approve?"

he says under Islamic law he can marry a 2nd time if 1st wife can not have children.    and yes,  true but 1st wife has to appear before the court and say OK

He does not say "she did"

Most likely it did not approve.

Most likely 1st wife doesn't even know about it.

I don’t think this is our topic! Or do you really want to know?

Since this post is about the child's citizenship, he will be granted CRBA as a child born out of wedlock if OP has required US physical presence and required other evidences. Whether OP goes to jail in MA for bigamy or whether he goes to jail in Morocco for not following required steps for 2nd wife are separate issues, good for debate but wouldn't affect the child's citizenship.
