Answer:
In the US a person cannot apply for an annulment until their civil divorce is final. There is a twofold reason for this. The first is that the Church wants to be sure there is no hope of reconciliation for the couple. A completed civil divorce makes an argument for that assurance. The second would be that the Church would not want to insert itself during divorce proceedings due to a possible conflict of interest, i.e. alienation of affections.
