More details to this question:
I was married in the Philippines and migrated in the US with my husband. We separated a few years later, so when I filed for my citizenship, I was already separated. I've been separated from my husband for more than 10 years now.

Absolutely not. Under US law if you are a married person anywhere in the world you are a married person in the US. If you want to marry someone else, you must get a divorce which you can do in the US.
