There is a problem if you failed to obtain a divorce before marrying the second wife. You need to rectify this situation before filing for your second wife's paperwork. Hiding the first marriage or any form of misrepresentation on your immigration paperwork is a very bad idea. 1. Get a divorce from Wife one. 2. Then get remarried with Wife two. 3. Then you can start the immigration paperwork once one and two have been done.

If you married her formally and you've never gotten divorced from her, you're still married to her. However, if you were never formally married with a marriage license and a judge or minister, the right to claim common law marriage expired two years after you split up.

You don't have to sign a declaration of marriage to be married by common law in Texas. However, if she was already married to someone else, just cohabiting with you and holding herself out as married to you doesn't make her a bigamist. Likewise, cohabiting with the next guy doesn't make her a bigamist even if she's married to you by common law. You can't get married by common law if you're already married. Even if she married someone else formally after she split with you, you're very, very unlikely to get a prosecutor to charge her with bigamy. Your right to claim common law marriage will end two years after the split if you haven't filed for divorce by then.
