What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
My husband is married to two women, my citizenship application got denied for that, can I get divorced and appeal? I have already filed the N-400 and I have 30 days to file N-336 to get another hearing. Do I have a chance at a citizenship if I get divorced or ask my husband to divorce his other wife. will a lawyer help?

Thank you

He was married to her first, I am the second wife. It all happened in Egypt. He is not the father of my son and I immigrated to the US (Oklahoma) 5 years ago through my son.

My husband is in Egypt and not planning on coming to the USA. He is not a US citizen or a permanent resident. He has never been to the U.S.

From my (admittedly limited) Googling, it appears that Polygamy is legal in Egypt. I would suggest that you consult with an immigration attorney and family law attorney about your situation - the help you need is beyond that of an online forum. Best of luck to you.
