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.)
