I do not know about United State's rules and regulation. But you cannot marry another guy until your divorce is finanlized and you have been separated legally.

Hmmm....... Be married to two men at the same time??
The answer is NO,NO and NO !! You can be arrested for bigamy and serve jail time. And if it is found out within the next seven years,then you will go to jail and he WILL be deported on the grounds that he willing participated in a crime!! And even if he didn't know,He would still be deported on general principles. You don;t think they will let you keep your prize after you broke the law do you ?? Wait until your divorce is final and you won't have to keep looking over your shoulder for the next seven years and wondering when it's going to happen... I hope this has helped you...

You absolutely can marry him before your divorce is final. BUT! You'd probably end up in jail for bigamy, fraud, and whatever else they can come up with. And he would then be deported anyway. You're dealing with immigration here and in this day and age the federal government is hypersensitive to stuff like that. So although you could marry him, its not legal.

The government finding out about him isn't a real issue compared to you being put in jail for bigamy.
Marrying someone else while you're still married is a crime.
By the way, this is the internet. You have just published your intent to defraud the immigration service by marrying this guy so he can stay in the US. You have published this statement in front of millions of witnesses.
A district attorney with nothing better to do that day can make a case for immigration fraud, and can send you to prison.

Wait til the divorce final cause it is not legal to be married to 2 at the same time. Yes they can find out and yes they can deport him. Safe to wait

Its illegal to marry someone else while married. If you are in a hurry just to marry to keep a man in this country thats also illegal. Not to be harsh but If either is the case you can make plans for jail arrangements. Also if your last marriage didnt work out and you havent even divorced yet whats the rush. This sounds alarms off for me.

If your divorce is not final, you are still married to your husband. It's illegal to be married to more than one person.
What is the hurry to marry this guy from out of the country? Is he so desperate for residency that he's taking advantage of you? You're going through a divorce and he's filling that void of companionship? Give it some serious thought.
If this guy loves you, he will wait for your divorce to be final.

7 months? what??
You should READ ABOUT MARRIAGE LISCENSES..
You can not be married to more than one person at one time in the eyes of the law. When your divorce is final, you have to wait 30 days or present the final divorce decree.
What is the rush anyway? If he loves you he will wait for it to be final and do it right.. and not rush into a LIFETIME COMMITMENT!!

You have to be divorced before you can remarry. It's as simple as that.
If you were to marry under false pretenses then it would not be a legal marriage and it would not stop him from getting deported.
Get an immigration lawyer to help him with what he needs to do to stay in the country.
Good luck.

Depends on whether you would like a 'legal' marriage or just one on paper.
Without a divorce, the new marriage is not a binding contract especially in the eyes of the law; and you would be a bigamist which is punishable by law should your first husband decide to file charges against you.
