Hello all. Am new here.
I have a little problem. I'm the daughter of a US citizen father and a Ghanaian mother. My father resided in the US prior to my birth for about 20 years, all of that after he turned fourteen. I heard I am a US citizen and can file for a passport.
Problem is, the whole time my father was married to my mum, he was not yet divorced from his American partner. Under US law, this is bigamy. Does this make my birth to be an out of wedlock case? Or is the marriage legal because it was in another country?
Also he is no longer around. He vanished after I turned fifteen- probably to chase another woman. Thanks for the answer I hope to receive.
