Requirements for marriage in the US if not planning to stay


Marisa

I am an American citizen living in London where I met my Polish fiance. We want to get married in the US in October but want to come back to London right after. Since we only want to get married there, not live there, what kind of visa can he come over on? Can he be on a visitor visa when we get married?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What's the sense of getting married in the US if you won't be living there? He will not be able to get US citizenship if he doesn't live in the US for 3 years after you marry. If after you marry you travel outside of the country he will need a special permit which allows him to return to the US and to leave for a limited time, if he does not obtain a permit or stays beyond the permitted time period he will not be able to return to the US. He can apply for a tourist visa AND might get lucky but then to marry him on such a visa is illegal AND THE us gov. frowns on this. A fiance visa is the answer but then again you have to be living in the US to apply for a fiance visa for him and live here if you want him to get US citizenship, otherwise why do you even want to marry in the US?

I know that you can get married in your boyfriend's (fiance's) home country and apply from there. Not sure about the conditions you specified but I'd contact in immigration attorney to make sure you get all the info you need. A few bucks for something very important in your life.

If you're not planning to stay can he not just get a tourist visa and go home with you?

Why ignorants like you even post anything? Sure he can marry on a tourist visa and when he leaves the country he won't be able to come back to the US for at least ten years because he defrauded the US gov. and didn't change his status to a conditional green card resident. Same if he come on a K1, B1 or any other kind of visa, even if it did expire what is the purpose to marry in the US if you don't follow up with the proper procedures. You will just have a marriage certificate issued in the US but he will not be a resident and if you ever want a divorce he is not a US citizen and the US will not grant a divorce to a person who can't stand trial in the US.

Grubas you are a prime example how to illegally defraud the US gov. by telling others to do so.

LOL.How is that illegal?Can you elaborate?If not shut up coz you making fool out of yourself.

If he married this women and didn't overstay his visa (whatever kind it was) he can easily come back on fiance visa or any other and then apply for change of status.If he overstayed and still in the US he can still apply for change of status.Even if he jumped the border and married this women in the US he can apply for change of status.Everything legall and in accordance with US immigration law.Any immigration attorney will tell you that for $150 or you can dig it yourself on USCIS webpage.You know nothing about US immigration law so shut up and stop messing peoples minds.

plenty people go for theme weddings. a holiday in the states + a $100 wedding is fun for some couples.
