While there seem to be immigration issues here on his status and lying there, and while lying on a marriage license is also illegal, it does not necessarily invalidate the marriage. What gives you the ability to invalidate a marriage is if you can prove one of the parties was under legal age of consent, bigamy, incest. insanity or one of the parties or fraud. Please speak with a lawyer. Good luck.
