Hi i have a question,can someone  marry in US even shes married in other country like Philippines?

 

[milimelo 4,481]

No, that would be bigamy. Need to divorce first and then can get re-married.

Get married a second time in the US to the same person they married in the Philippines, or a different person?

[milimelo 4,481]

Then your friend is a bigamist, committing fraud and misrepresentation. Married is married no matter which country you're married in.

The Philippines keeps track of everyone's marriages. The US doesn't. There's no central, country-wide registry of marriages in the US. And when she got married in the US, no one contacted the Philippine government to verify whether she was already married. She was taken at her word.

What are you or her trying to do?

 

Sounds like she has misrepresented her marital status when applying for the marriage license in the US and actively involved in bigamy. There's a ban for that.

Well, first time she arrived i asked her if shes gonna stay or just stay get married but she told me she cannot marry coz shes married in philippines,the second time she arrived in USA, i never meet her again her sister is my friend and i just found out to her sis that she already married 😯 her sis told me  and it is legal to marry in US has long has your not married in US. 

I wonder if they comitted a fraud marriage but Not sure.

Married is married. If she is already married (even in another country) and not divorced or annulled her marriage to the US person is not valid. If she tries to obtain or does obtain any immigration benefits such as a green card or citizenship based on her fake marriage she can at any time be stripped of those benefits and deported.

Tsk tsk. Not legal. Dumb move on your friend's part. Fake news about it being legal in the US. I predict this will end in disaster once the government finds out.

No, their marriage in the US is not legal.  She just hasn't been caught by the government.  Lots of people get away with fraud but that doesn't mean what they have done is legal.
