    Getting Remarried Before a Divorce is Final
    My question involves marriage law for the State of: Massachusetts

    Good time of the day!
    I wonder if anybody can clear out things for me. Here's the situation.

    I am a non-USA citizen, lived in the USA for a decade.

    As of today, am Ii considered married by the USA laws if I got married in the foreign county before I got legally divorced from my ex-spouse in the USA? The "overlap" in marriages was for around 2 years.
    And if NOT then can anything be done/amended etc?

    Bigamous marriages will not be recognized as valid by the USCIS.

    You have now, apparently, divorced your prior spouse. So if you want to be legally married to your current partner, marry your current partner.
