I just wanted to add that something similar happened to my husband and myself. We had hired a lawyer for his previous divorce (also in Nigeria). When we gave the documents to our lawyer in the US, he told us we basically didn’t have the right documents and that we needed the divorce absolute (I think that’s the name) and then we would have to get remarried for it to count. We luckily did all of that before filing. 
 

I say that to say that not everybody is fraudulently obtaining divorce decrees on purpose, unfortunately the lawyers are greedy and cutting corners there. 
 

Anyway, good luck to yall on this long journey!

I'm also wondering when OP got married to the applicant.. was it before or after the REAL divorce happened?

Shame a Mod can not override when clearly not a spammer.

Material misrepresentation carries a perma-ban from any entry into the US.  A waiver is still needed.  Marriage doesn't negate the misrepresentation.  Did an attorney file the I-601 for you?

I wish we did our due diligence. I was so eager to file the case that we didn't get to talk to any lawyer. lesson learned.

@Uwaila Unfortunately, your marriage is invalid. Further explanation provided in the bolded.

 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
