More details to this question:
I separated (dissolution already approved) from my husband in my home country (Paraguay), but we are not divorced yet. Now I live in the US (legally) with my boyfriend, who is an American citizen and we want to get married. Can we get married even though I am not divorced yet? Thank you, Diana

To get a marriage license you must answer the question: "Are you presently married" You must answer yes, at which time your application for a marriage license will be denied.

No, you cannot be legally married to someone else and get married in the US.
