Here is the law...

8 USC § 1409 - Children born out of wedlock

This says “in wedlock”.

What is the corresponding section if NOT in wedlock...I don’t think 0’s mom and Sr. were legally married, because Sr went and committed bigamy....was married to that lady in Kenya at the time he married 0’s mom....
