Immigraton Law Issue

I got married in Bahrain before my divorce was finalized in the United States. It was a mistake on my end, I had forgotten that there’s a 6 month-waiting period. The marriage in it self was arranged, and we got separated right away. I divorced her Islamically but had forgotten to do the legal divorce.

Now I wanna petition for my wife but my marriage contract was done on a date I wasn’t allowed to be married in accordance to US Law. I got married in Bahrain December 7,2020 but my divorce in California was finalized on December 9,2020. And my allowed date for remarriage is May 13,2021. I filed the divorce on november 12,2020.

I have waited to start the process but now I am unsure of what I have to do. I signed and submitted the divorce papers to the court before I got married in Bahrain, but it took time to process and then there’s a mandatory 6 month waiting period you have to wait to get remarried.

Can I petition for my wife with my current marriage contract even if the dates are not valid for a US marriage?

Can I apply for a fiance visa? and if i do, do I list her as married or single? or do i have to first divorce her? Can i start the petition before her divorce becomes final?

I don’t know how I can make my marriage to my current wife valid in terms of US Law, it’s valid in Bahrain and it’s valid in my religion.

Can I start the petition or not? And if not, what can I do to help fix my mistake?

Summary:

I want to petition for my wife I married over seas. But my marriage contract was done on a date I was still considered “married” in California. However, at this moment I am allowed to get married. I tried to get a new marriage contract, but they won’t let me do it in Bahrain or in another country.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
