Do we have to get married again if I got married in 2002 to a person still married in Mexico now he got divorced in 2014?

More details to this question:
I met someone that was married in Mexico back in 1992. They were together for 2 years only then got separated for 2 years. He migrated to the US in 1996. We married here in the US in 2002 but he never got divorced in Mexico. Now in 2014, he finally got divorced from his wife in Mexico. I want to submit his immigration documents but don’t know what to do with the marriage that happened here in 2002. I know he committed bigamy. What can we do? Do we just remarry which will make our previous marriage not valid? I don’t know what to do to make our marriage here in the US valid. Please advice.

Your marriage is valid back to the date of his divorce. Before then you had a putative marriage unless you new about the prior marriage.
