The husband of 18 years filed Nullity of Marriage of the grounds that he was previously married and stipulated that since I am not the legitimate wife, I am not entitled to any conjugal shares and wanted me out of our home which I halped built and my name to be erased in all the land titles. I am now contemplating to file a BIGAMY case against him based on his own admission and under oath in his affidavit in filing the Nullity of marriage. Lawyers have different views on this since some said only the first wife can file bigamy.

Seems like you need a better lawyer. See note below.
If you are in the US, talk to the Prosecutor of your local county or legal municipality. Bigamy is a crime, and the prosecutor is the one who is supposed to file criminal charges. Looks like if he went through a legal act of matrimony with you, and admits he knew he was married to another, he has proven himself guilty of bigamy.
As far as property, if you are in the US, you helped build it, and should get a settlement. Treat it as a civil action, and demand part of his assets.
If you can't get an attorney in your area smarter than what you have been encountering, try going to another county in your state so they are not "in bed with each other." I suspect there is some collusion, for example lawyers who know him in a small rural county, something like that, or this would not be happening this way. Lawyers in a state can practice law in any county, and this sure sounds suspicious to me.
I hope you did not have kids with this jerk.

How did the jerk manage to stay on for four years after the visa expiry, and get married too? It's 'immigrants' like him that give the others a bad name! PS: I would suggest filing in a U.S court.

Yes you can file such an action, however the way you do it depends on the state in which you live. In some states you are more likely to prevail than in others. I strongly suggest that you go see an attorney RIGHT NOW.
