What does “polygamy” mean?
Meaning: Being married to more than one person at the same time.
How the officer may ask it
“Have you ever been married to more than one person at the same time?”
How to answer
Listen carefully and answer only what is asked. If the officer asks what the word means, explain it in simple words, like: “Being married to more than one person at the same time.” If something on your N-400 is unclear or you are not sure how to answer, talk to an immigration attorney before the interview — this is not legal advice.
