Hope it will help
I wanted to share our story, hope no one will do mistake we did.
My husband is USC through naturalization. He was married to USC in his home country /isreal/, religious marriage, and court. They moved to California after few years divorced, when they divorce they did it through rabbinical court, not CA court.
I met my husband, we got married on April, 2016. Filled for my green card application in Aug 2016. We got interview in FEB 2017. But they asked us to provide more doc for the divorce. We sent more evidence from Israel stating that he is divorced and now his is single in Israeli court. A month later ICE sent a paper explaining the law, according to CA law you are supposed to divorce where you lived in the last 6 months, not where you were married. ICE had to decline our application because we were not able to provide the CA divorce documents for my husband’s previous marriage.
Then the journey starts again. We had to file divorce for my husband and his ex-wife, which takes at least 6 months, finally we get divorce paper and then we have to marry again, because our original marriage considered void marriage because basically means I was married to a married person /so complicated/. So I married my husband twice /funny/ love him so much. We got the new marriage license in November 10, and we sent the whole package again to ICE in November 2017. Got bio apt on Dec 29, 2017. So far no update.

Who knew, you are supposed to divorce where you live even though you were married in different country or state, CA has no record of him being married here before.
So please make sure of it if you have similar case.

Good luck
