Bigamy in the United States has been illegal since the mid-1800s (both in federal and all state/territory laws). There are NO possible ways to be considered legally married to more than one spouse while being a resident (or citizen) of the USA, under US law. US citizens may NEVER marry more than one spouse, regardless of which country they (or their spouses) live in. If they do so, they commit the crime of bigamy, and can be prosecuted as soon as they return to US jurisdiction, even though the "crime" was committed elsewhere.
That said, certain other countries recognize plural marriage (i.e. having more than one spouse). Citizens of those countries who travel to US jurisdictions are NOT guilty of bigamy if they are married to multiple spouses. The US simply considered all marriages after the 1st spouse to be invalid, and treats all those additional spouses as non-immediate-family relatives.
Remember that many foreign marriages are NOT automatically recognized by the US as valid. Particularly those when one party is a minor (generally, under 16 will be highly suspect), or the US courts determine is the result of a forced marriage (i.e. where the spouse did not give independent consent to the marriage). Those engaging in these unrecognized marriage may be subject to criminal prosecution for various offenses that would not otherwise be applicable to a married couple (e.g. statutory rape, kidnapping, illegal transportation of a minor, etc.).
Also, remember that if you get married outside the US, you will need to provide the official marriage documents issued to the newly married by the local officials who oversaw the marriage. In simple terms, in order for a marriage to be recognized by the US, you will at least have to show the local equivalent of a marriage license (properly attested to and signed) when returning to the USA.

If you marry a legal alien while her visa is current what will it take to make her a citizen?
If she entered the US illegaly (snuck in) she will not be able to become legal without leaving. Once she leaves the 10 year bar will be triggered, meaning she will not be able to come back for 10 years. In order for her to come back, her US citizen husband would need to apply for a waiver of the 10 year bar. He would have to prove that it would be an exreme hardship for him to move to her country. It is difficult to get this waiver.
She would not be able to become a US citizen until 3 years after receiving her permanent residence. You can find a lot of information about the waiver that the husband would need to file to overcome the 10 year bar at http://immigrate2us.net The waiver is called the I-601
How long does it take to get a citizenhip if you are married to a us citizen?
A permanent resident can apply for citizenship after 3 years of marriage to a US citizen. You will need to fill out form N-400 ( Naturalization) which comes with a $330 (processing fee) and a $70 Biometric (finger print & background check).
If you are applying based on 5 years as a Permanent Resident or 3 years as a Permanent Resident married to a U.S. citizen, you may file for naturalization up to 90 days before you meet the continuous residence requirement. For example, if you are applying based on 3 years of continuous residence as a Permanent Resident married to a U.S. citizen, you can apply any time after you have been a Permanent Resident in continuous residence for 3 years minus 90 days. You may send your application before you have met the requirement for continuous residence only. Therefore, you must still have been married to and living with your U.S.citizen spouse for 3 years before you may file your application. You must also meet all the other eligibility requirements when you file your application with USCIS.

What is the success rate of military marriages?
- If you are in love with someone in the military then go into the relationship with your eyes open! The explanation in the story linked to the right gives you reason for a higher risk of divorce, but, if you love the person then even a day, week or month of seeing each other should keep you together. Particularly a woman deciding whether to marry a soldier or officer should be aware that he may be gone for long lengths of time, that there will be worries such as "are they coming home safe and alive" and the most dangerous of all ... LONLINESS! The wife can be left on base (housing) feeling very lonely when her spouse is off to war. However, there is no reason that two mature people can't endure this stressful time. The female spouse can get active by working, volunteering and it helps the time to pass. Writing your spouse letters, sending videos of yourself and children if and when you have any and just being there to cheer him on. Both male/female soldiers need all the cheering and upbeat news they can get and it gives them a reason to keep on fighting. I believe if you want it to work then it can! You have to decide. Don't let the stats below make you decide not to marry someone you love that just happens to be in the Armed Forces. If you love him then marry him! Marriage is a risk at best.
- If you are in love with the person then go ahead. There might be that chance that the person might die at war, but if you love him/her, are you willing to take the chance?
